A Stitch In Time - The Bayeux Tapestry.
This exploration is supported by Fluxus Art Projects explores the complexities of this large embroidery and resonance in contemproary culture.
An embroidered cloth nearly 70 metres long and 50 centimetres tall that depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, led by William, Duke of Normandy challenging Harold Godwinson, King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings.
It is thought to date to the 11th century, within a few years of the battle. Now widely accepted to have been made in England perhaps as a gift for William, it tells the story from the point of view of the conquering Normans and for centuries has been preserved in Normandy. - wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayeux_Tapestry
