Join artist Sabba Elahi for a unique communal embroidery project, where we will honor the names of women and children who lost their lives in US drone strikes in Pakistan. This participatory event invites you to contribute to a powerful collective artwork that reflects on themes of memory, loss, and resilience.

She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been recognized with prestigious artist residencies at the Chicago Artists Coalition, Ragdale, and as a finalist for the Mother Art Prize (2020).
