纺织品被用作抗议和作证、讲故事和记忆，从Bayeux挂毯到选举权横幅、艾滋病被子和手工艺主义。战争纺织品出现在20世纪70年代暴露于冲突中的一些文化中；例如，智利和拉丁美洲的大教堂，泰国难民营中苗族人的故事布，以及最近描绘南非种族隔离的记忆布。这篇文章介绍了在北爱尔兰的骚乱中出现的纺织品。它包括个人回应、协作性的社区被子，以及艺术家领导的纪念、治愈与和平项目。在北爱尔兰，宗教、文化、政治和民族分歧在1968年升级为被称为“麻烦”的宗派内部冲突，这场冲突持续了30年，直到1998年的耶稣受难日协议。这篇文章中讨论的纺织品可以追溯到当时的动乱时期和冲突后(但仍深陷于冲突)时期。纺织品的反应没有包括在关于骚乱的艺术展览或文学作品中，因此，更广泛的叙事中缺少一种独特的反应，几乎完全是女性的反应。初步研究是通过对制作人的录音和转录采访以及对他们工作过程和结果的分析进行的。
Abstract Textiles have been used as protest and testimony, storytelling and memory, from the Bayeux Tapestry to Suffrage banners, AIDS quilts and craftivism. War textiles emerged in some cultures exposed to conflict during the 1970s; for example, the arpilleras of Chile and Latin America, the story cloths of the Hmong people in refugee camps in Thailand, and more recently memory cloths depicting apartheid in South Africa. This article presents the textiles that emerged in response to the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It includes individual responses, collaborative community quilts, and artist-led projects for remembrance, healing, and peace. In Northern Ireland, religious, cultural, political, and national differences escalated in 1968 into the sectarian civil conflict known as “the Troubles” which continued for 30 years until the Good Friday agreement in 1998. The textiles discussed in this article date from the Troubles and the post-conflict (but still deeply conflicted) period since then. Textile responses have not been included in art exhibitions or literature about the Troubles and therefore a unique response, almost exclusively by women, is missing from the broader narrative. Primary research was through recorded, transcribed interviews with makers and analysis of the processes and outcomes of their work.
