'Names Disappearing: Your Story Will be Told' is a textile collaboration between Diana Weymar and Mansour Omari, journalist and human rights defender who disappeared for a year in an underground Syrian prison in 2012-2013. When released, he promised his fellow inmates to let their families know they were still alive and smuggled out pieces of textile on which their names had been written. When Diana Weymar heard his story, she proposed to stitch those names with thread on "a long white cotton nightshirt" to make them more visible and deliver a powerful message. 鈥淚f a story is told, it can be repeated by others and it lives on in that telling.
