“Let us take the risks of peace upon ourselves, not impose the risks of war on the world.”

This call for nuclear disarmament first appeared on a poster in 1965, and is attributed to the Religious Society of Friends, the Quakers. Two decades later, its message echoed at Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp in the UK, where protesters opposed the storage of American cruise missiles. From 1981 onward, the camp became a wellspring of resistance, producing some of the most powerful and moving examples of textile protest art ever created.
