Small embroidered sampler (referred to as a 'mini protest banner') made at a workshop led by Sarah Corbett, founder of the Craftivist Collective. The workshop, held at St Fagans: National History Museum in June 2012, was organised to coincide with Refugee Week and the *Refugee House* exhibition. Printed green cotton, with an overall pattern of pink, yellow and white circles and flowers. There are two metal eyelets (one in each top corner) to enable the 'banner' to be displayed in a public space. A piece of white block weave canvas has been applied onto the cotton. The canvas has been embroidered with the inscription 'Mae ceiswyr lloches yn chwilio am fangre diogel' [asylum seekers are looking for a safe space]'. The Craftivist Collective label has been stitched diagonally over the canvas, bottom the right.
