Stitch Them Home: Yellow Ribbon Exhibition for Our Loved Ones Held Hostage

Camille and Anya Davidson
August 1 – October 7, 2024

Curated by mother-daughter duo Camille and Anya Davidson, this pop-up exhibition features yellow ribbons lovingly hand-stitched by diverse Maine community members in solidarity with the 116 innocent civilians still held hostage in Gaza. The installation is set up “tunnel-style” to symbolize the underground tunnels where many hostages are held captive. Visitors are encouraged to walk through the tunnel to view the ribbons, along with the names and photos of the hostages each ribbon represents. “Stich Them Home” is, at its essence, a community effort to keep the hostages and their loved ones top of mind, and a visceral plea to do everything in our power to bring them all home now.
