About This Event

Over the past few months, members of Hackney Circle have created a community quilt with Hackney-based artist Aya Haidar, in a series of collaborative, hands-on workshops facilitated by PEER Gallery.

To celebrate the completion of the quilt, Peer Gallery and Aya invite you to join them on Saturday 23 August from 2-4 pm for an afternoon of tea, cake, and conversation.

Taking inspiration from PEER’s 2025 exhibition programme exploring oral history, family, and disability Aya has worked with Hackney Circle members to produce a series of fabric works commemorating the voices and views of Hackney residents, weaving together community stories, handed-down skills, and cultural traditions.
