Now on display at The Infirmary Museum is Comfort the Breast Quilt, a project led by Artist Lois Blackburn. It is an artwork abundant in rich and diverse themes. From puberty, to aging, to sexual harassment, breastfeeding, sexualization, transgender experiences, ill heath, operations, body image and acceptance.
Comfort was made by 180 women, teens, trans and non-binary people. It explores our hopes & dreams, embarrassments, pleasure, pain & joy.
Comfort invites its makers and the audience to slow down, to reflect on difficult or embarrassing subjects, ask questions, absorb ideas, challenge preconceptions and start conversations.
You can view the quilt until December 2nd at The Infirmary Museum.

The project was supported using public funding from the Arts Council
