THE ANARCHIST PRAYER QUILTS
A NEW EXHIBITION BY BLACK LODGE PRESS
Memory Dance Exhibition No.5 – November 2026
Skipping ahead to the darker months, hyped to be collaborating with the incredible @blacklodgepress on this new show.
More soon, but for now….
From the artist behind Black Lodge Press, the Anarchist Prayer Quilts are a series of 14 large scale fabric pieces combining the aesthetic of traditional quilts with the street politics of direct action political banners. The prayers within the quilts speak for the death of fascism, the destruction of AI, and give hope to a life breaking through the concrete.
In the Memory Dance basement cinema we will also present a series of rare archive films from Sheffield and South Yorkshire responding to these ideas of activism and protest. Think 1980s works about radical recycling projects, dreamy Sheffield city council films, experimental animation, and community organising videos about everything from public buses to anti-war campaigning.
