Cover for Pandora Curated's August 2025 issue.

The illustration is based on Harriet Sanderson's article, which reflects on how traditional crafts—quilting, weaving, cooking—are not just hobbies but acts of care, memory, and quiet resistance. Quilting, especially for African American women, carries stories of faith, survival, and protest. Domestic work and basket weaving preserve culture, connect us to the earth, and pass ancestral wisdom forward.

Harriet reminds us that in a world moving too quickly, craft invites us to slow down, honour those before us, and imagine a more connected, caring future.
