The Grenfell Memorial Quilt is a community-led national fabric-art project initiated by artist and artivist Tuesday Greenidge following the Grenfell Tower fire of 14 June 2017.

For almost ten years, people have stitched together remembrance, grief, love, hope and calls for justice. What began in North Kensington has grown into a collective act of craftivism, bringing together sewers, quilters, embroiderers, artists, libraries, faith groups and communities across the UK and beyond.

At the heart of the project is the belief that fabric carries memory. Donated and repurposed cloth becomes part of a shared social fabric: HeArts, names, messages, tributes and community stories are stitched into the evolving Grenfell Memorial Quilt.

Through Sewing for Justice and our growing network of Sewing-To-Be Hives, people can participate in workshops, sew within their own communities, or create contributions from home and send them to us.

Our long-term vision is to create 108 monumental quilt panels, representing one vertical face of Grenfell Tower, while building a living archive of the people, places and stories that have shaped the work.

72 lives. Many hands. One cloth. One nation remembering.
