December Presentaton:
Chawne Kimber joined us for her “When the Cotton Is High” lecture on December 10th. We last hosted Chawne in 2018 and were very excited to have her speak to us again! Her award winning textiles use “the full English language” and have been exhibited in many quilt shows and museums around the US. Her lecture showed us historical examples, and subversive examples, of embroidery and quilting, and explored many important and relevant topics such as social justice, politics, identity, and censorship. Chawne’s lecture was informative and also moving. Find out more: https://cauchycomplete.wordpress.com/
