Artist Lois Blackburn led the project, Comfort the Breast Quilt. 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.
The Infirmary Museum is open Monday to Saturday, 10am until 5pm
