CRISALIS is a social and labour integration programme for women who
have survived human trafficking. Coordinated and led by three young
European social enterprises, Quid (Italy), Makers Unite (Netherlands) and The Language
Project (Greece), the project combines concrete employment opportunities,
creative expression workshops and artistic co-design experiences.
This scarf comes from the European project CRISALIS, it is co-designed by
the beneficiaries and celebrates the contribution of creativity to integration, empowerment
and equality in the labour market. It measures 90×90 cm and is
perfect to wear around the neck, as a headband or bandana. It can also
be framed!
It tells a story of courage, redemption and beauty. The images, symbols and words that populate the weft of this accessory are born from the encounter of twelve women who, having survived trafficking, found in Quid a space and time for transformation together with those who were able to welcome, train and support them.
For this second edition, Crisalis designs meet the fine silks of Gentili Mosconi. High quality production remnants made available to us to create, once again, a true manifesto of appreciation, encouragement and inspiration from woman to woman. Give it as a gift to a friend or someone who means the world to you, it will be a talisman of transformation and new beginnings.
