Dear Student

This unique metaverse launch celebrates the timeless craft of embroidery, reimagined through digital storytelling. Each piece is more than an artwork; it is a narrative woven with colour, texture, and meaning, featuring artworks that confront gender-based violence.

We are set to unveil a new digital storytelling platform where embroidered artworks come alive beyond the fabric. Through this immersive experience, visitors will discover the inspiration behind the designs and the cultural threads that connect us all.
Every stitch carries a story.

In this unique launch, the embroidered artworks have been scanned into 3D and will be experienced in the metaverse on the PlayUBU platform.

Join us as we transform embroidery into a living archive of stories, accessible, shareable, and deeply human.

Only 500 FREE Tickets Available
