Common Threads

Common Threads is an exhibition of responsive work by Remiiya Badru, exploring the rich history of Calico and Prussian Blue around the Lower Lea River. About Working on a year-long commission in collaboration with the V & A East and the communities of Cody Dock, Remiiya Badru has woven stories from present and past into this forgotten fabric, to produce a textile response made entirely out of calico. These cloths and garments will dress the inside of the building, transforming the space into a symbol of community, tracing stories of local people, trading history and industry. Design / Fashion
