Digital poster for a community sewing workshop titled “TEXTILE ART LGBTIQANB+.” Subheading reads: “This zine is a hands-on guide to the basics of sewing. It is my invitation for you to craft a symbol of identity and resistance.” In the center, a purple-toned illustration shows two hands sewing. On the left, vertical text reads “FLAG workshop.” Below, in mixed fonts, the title says “Stitching Identity.” At the bottom is the link “LALOICA.NOBLOGS.ORG/TUTORIAL-BANDERAS/.”

Stitching Identity: Flags, Pride and Memory

Every June 28, the LGBTIQANB+ community mobilizes around the world  to raise awareness about the struggle against hate crimes. For me, more than a celebration, this date has always been a reminder that without justice, there is no pride — and that our flags are living symbols of our existence and resistance.
That's why I created this zine, part of a project called Stitching identity.
Stitching Identity: Textile Art in the LGBTIQANB+ Community aims to reclaim sewing as part of the historical development of queer communities and as a key tool for artistic and political expression. It highlights textile creation as a powerful act of visibility and resistance against gender-sexual discrimination.
In this fanzine you will find:
• A brief history of the community's flags.
• A mini guide to the flags in use today.
• Step–by–step instructions to make your own flag at home. The example given is a non-binary flag, but the technique works for creating any striped flag.
