Stitching Stories Reimagined
When: Jan. and Feb. 2026
Stitching Stories Reimagined
Partner: Compassionate High Point, High Point Public Library, and Arise Collective.
When and Where: High Point Library (one event away from the location at the Boys and Girls Club)
Description: Resilience High Point is hosting the Stitching Stories Reimagined exhibit in partnership with the High Point Public Library from January 12 to February 18, 2026, and it may be viewed from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm daily. Stitching Stories was originally a 25-foot-long prison awareness quilt, crocheted by women incarcerated at North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women as they survived COVID in prison. The Arise Collective received funding from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to transform the quilt into a permanent, durable art installation that will travel the state alongside the original quilt to spark community engagement and dialogue about challenges and issues related to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women. Female incarceration rates are on a steep incline and the roots of incarceration reach deeply into every community. Because you are a community leader, we are asking you to reserve the following dates and to encourage your immediate community to attend these important sharing sessions with you. As we build compassion in our community, we are more able to transcend trauma and build a supportive place to live together.
