Stitching Segmented Memories is an ongoing project that began during Fatemi’s MFA thesis exhibition at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery (UWAG) in 2024. The work evolves with each performance, as new names are embroidered onto the fabric surface. Through live embroidery on a handmade, layered dress with a long train, Fatemi honours the names of loved ones and those who are missing—reflecting on themes of displacement and resilience.
The audience is invited to participate by stitching the name of a loved one they wish to remember.
