Save Soanes Archive Quilt

Save Soanes Archive Quilt

Produced in Collaboration with Rhea Martin (Community Outreach for Soanes Centre) and Save Soanes Volunteers, 2025

Constructed through a summer outreach programme, this quilt documents the Soane Centre's rich history within Tower Hamlets Cemetery. Producedthrough natural dye and cyanotype reproduction of archival images, each column marks a distinct moment within Tower Hamlets Cemetery, mapping the different ways this unique space has accommodated people and more-than-humans over time.

The quilt culminates with Kin Structure's work at the centre and the Save Soanes Campaign, which has been active since 2024 when the centre began a protracted fight against attempts to take over the centre and deny the local community this much cherished space and ecological programme.

Each facet of the quilt has been co-designed with the Campaign, collectively composing and designing its layout, alongside co-creating the natural dye plant imprints, and cyanotype prints. Quilting was done in unison through collective making sessions.
