Скачать или смотреть TEXTILE TALK: Seeing / Being Seen: Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Voices (Surface Design Association)

Join us as we celebrate the Surface Design Association’s Winter Journal, Seeing / Being Seen: LGBTQIA+ Writers on LGBTQIA+ Fiber Artists. Guest Editor Rebekah Frank will be joined in conversation by featured writer Tyah-Amoy Roberts, artist Cate O’Connell-Richards, and Journal Editor Elizabeth Kozlowski as they delve into the complexity of intersectional identity and how it informs creative practices in fiber. In particular, the significant impact LGBTQIA+ artists have had in deconstructing craft binaries - masculine/feminine, high/low, functional/decorative, and, of course, art/craft. As Guest Editor Rebekah Frank writes, we offer “an invitation to see and be seen, in all our complexity.”

Seeing / Being Seen: LGBTQIA+ Writers on LGBTQIA+ Artists was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. To learn more about how National Endowment for the Arts grants impact individuals and communities, visit www.arts.gov.

Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc. (SAQA) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt: "a creative visual work that is layered and stitched or that references this form of stitched layered structure."

Founded in 1989 by an initial group of 50 artists, SAQA now has over 4,000 members: artists, teachers, collectors, gallery owners, museum curators, and corporate sponsors. With access to our museum-quality exhibition program, SAQA members challenge the boundaries of art and change perceptions about contemporary fiber art.

As a part of SAQA’s dynamic creative community, members can take their artwork and career to the next level. We offer a wide range of exclusive resources, mentorship programs, and professional opportunities.

In addition, SAQA documents the art quilt movement – our publications include full-color exhibition catalogs, the Art Quilt Quarterly magazine, and books like Art Quilts Unfolding: 50 Years of Innovation, and the Exploring Art Quilts with SAQA series.
