Discover an impressive 35-meter-long tapestry, made by hundreds of helping hands from across North Brabant. The artwork, designed by artist Victor Sonna, tells stories about our province's history of slavery.
Participants brought the design to life through embroidery, tufting, and quilting. The result is not only a tribute, but also a shared memory and an invitation to conversation.
After the exhibition in Tilburg, the tapestry will travel throughout the province. Admission is free.
