Come and see The Portland Dress – a public debut
Inspired by The Red Dress visit to Portland in 2024, a sister dress has been slowly and gently collecting the stories of Portland thread by thread – in the spirit of The Red Dress and the 1978 Portland embroideries, this dress is a textile narrative of community voices, an archive of this time and this place.
Over 300 local people and those with connections to Portland have contributed via free public workshops, visits to people in their homes, community groups, coffee shops and a pub – the call to join in has travelled far and wide.
