Located on Waterloo Street, the Singapore Council of Women’s Organizations (SCWO) has a long-standing tradition of empowering women and marginalized communities. Our research for this project draws from their extensive history and the communities they have fostered through meetings and events, with additional insights gained from their archival publication, *OneVoice*.

Historically, women have often been left to navigate challenges independently. Through communal gatherings, women find solidarity, refuge, and the opportunity to share experiences, thereby building supportive communities and networks. Tapestry-making, a craft traditionally associated with women, embodies this communal spirit. We argue that collective participation in tapestry-making continues to unite marginalized communities through acts of love and creativity. This work celebrates the significance of women’s crafts—often undervalued—and features materials sourced from New2U, SCWO’s thrift store. The tapestry symbolizes the strength found in women’s solidarity and support.

In the broader context of feminism, our goal is to highlight not only the struggles of women but also those of other marginalized identities oppressed under patriarchy. As artists, we aim to reshape these narratives, empowering communities and reclaiming their rightful place in history.
