Abstract

The ‘Teal Quilt Project’ (TQP) offers an opportunity to understand participatory textile making activity as a site of research. It also provides insights into how research projects are instigated, sometimes because of unexpected opportunities that arise out of unanticipated circumstances, experiences or bodies of work. In this article, I will present the course of the TQP itself, how the related research was simultaneously constructed, some of our initial findings and plans for future research.
