Fabric Voices of Possibilities, New and Old, March, 2014

With Miriam, protesting against the treatment of asylum seekers, on the steps of the Victorian State Library, Melbourne, March 1, 2014. Over two thousand, no traditional media coverage

Banners, made from old sheets or newly digitized, cardboard placards with red words, sometimes surrounded by thousands, sometimes held by 8 women--this basic act of getting up and out, of refusing to be silent in the face of misuse of power--the fabric archives of  our larger selves.

In front of the Department of Immigration

Our monthly Women in Black vigil, protesting Israel's occupation of Palestine, on the steps of the old post office, Melbourne, March 1, 2014. With Esme, Sue, Marg and friend. With Hellen in our hearts.
