Together these revolutionary artists reclaimed the power of the needle and made space to share their stories, their experiences and their masterful artworks.    

Join us at the Artist Talk, and meet the artists, listen in on the engaging discussion about their work and even ask questions!

"Stitched, Woven and Hooked" artists, Melissa Blount, Dorothy Burge, Laurel Izard, Shaqui Reed and Galina Shevchenko will speak about their life and practice relating to the exhibit. Many of the artists in "Stitched, Woven and Hooked" choose to make autobiographical work about their identities, family histories and cultural traditions. These artists research, collect, combine, reimagine, reuse and revisit historical and contemporary textiles and fiber techniques. The materials they employ hold personal significance and draw on individual and collective memory to convey personal narratives, often challenging power dynamics and concepts related to identity. In their work, the personal is political.
