Patchwork Quilt - Turkey
Our patchwork quilt represents diversity of womenhood, which may consititute a harmony
altogether. It is composed of small pieces of fabrics which women wear. Whereas
it demonstrates local and cultural diversity, it does not abandon universal
values. Therefore, a Hittite Idol symbolizing productivity and fertility was
placed at the center. The Hittites were an ancient society respecting human
rights and gender equality, reminding our egalitarian past. Idol itself implies
sisterhood and solidarity. Our patchwork quilt tries to combine universal values
with cultural diversity and local and historical experiences of our society.
There is a blue bead on it to protect our good intent from bad eyes.
