#pacifism — Public Fediverse posts

American Friends Service Committee or AFSC is a humanitarian aid organization founded upon Quaker religious principles.

Quakers are a group of Christians, who fled violence in Europe, migrated to Americas, and have been one of the strongest voices for #pacifism in USA.

Yet today, like many other religious groups, they are less cohesively against war and other forms of violence than before.

AFSC helps people the best they can in #Gaza and around the world.

The artist and the weavers

Who wove the twenty enormous tapestries?
On the websites/ exhibition it mentions the name of a male artist

Has he done 8 million individual stitches on each of the 20 tapestries on eight-hour shifts?

Who spun the wool?

So many questions.
So much to see.
So much to ask.

Inspired by A Worker Reads and Asks, B Brecht >>
