Kirstie McLeod is telling stories in stitches

Artist Kirstie McLeod founded the Red Dress project in 2009, as a platform for women in marginalised groups to share their stories. Sixteen years later, the collective embroidery project represents 380 embroiderers across 51 countries and is exhibited all over the world. Jen chats to Kirstie about the project, embroidery as a (perhaps) surprising medium through which to pioneer social justice, and the joy of putting needle to thread. The Red Dress is currently being exhibited at the Woven festival in Kirklees Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
