‘XS’ ENDO-EMBROIDERY WITH COCO WARNER-ALLEN
CO-HOSTED BY FEMINIST LIBRARY & THE POORLY PROJECT
21ST MARCH (16:00 – 18:00)
The Feminist Library and The Poorly Project are thrilled to announce ‘XS’ – an endo-embroidery workshop led by artist Coco Warner-Allen, dedicated to Endometriosis Awareness Month. 
Beyond its initial identification in 1690 by German physician Daniel Schroen – endometriosis has been labelled as a ‘missed disease’, afflicted by diagnostic errors, medical downplay, gaps in research and the absence of a cure. 
‘XS’ reflects the medical and social invisibility of endometriosis, its extensive list of exacerbative symptoms and its chronicity.
Embracing a medium that allows the mind to find distraction, rest and creative curiosity, artist Coco Warner- Allen guides participants through beginner-friendly stitches and beading exercises, influencing delicate Toile de Jouy textiles through embellishment. 
With community and creative voyage at its core, ‘XS’ encourages greater value towards art-making within our chronic health journeys.  It reminds us that embroidery exists as an accessible, artistic resource, aiding personal expressions that build upon self-care, our sense of hope and healing.
