About The Red Tent Collection
Filmmaker Isadora Gabrielle Leidenfrost’s groundbreaking and forthcoming documentary film, Things We Don’t Talk About, is about women’s healing narratives. Based on Anita Diamant’s best-selling book The Red Tent (a fictional recounting of the rape of Diana in Biblical times), Isadora has created a red textile space for women to speak about their bodies and their lives. JazzArt ‘s Red Tent Collection features four quotations and designs. The six colors used in each design represent the stages of a woman’s life: infancy, childhood, teens, young adult, middle age, old age.

Red Tent Collection cards are #'s WW10-WW13, plus a set of all four cards.
