Join us in celebrating the Spring 2024 Surface Design Journal, Hunter / Gather and explore the intersections of performance and natural dyes with artists Pachia Lucy Vang and Dina Nazmi Khorchid along with moderator, Merill Comeau. As Surface Design Journal Editor, Elizabeth Kozlowski writes, “As hunter-gatherers, our paleolithic forebearers foraged natural resources until about 12,000 years ago when archaeological evidence of agricultural practices started to appear. Our nomadic lifestyle waned as humans built permanent settlements and domesticated plants and animals. This issue of Surface Design Journal highlights the relationship between performance art and natural dyes: a relationship that centers on beauty, ritual and tradition. Combining these two practices is a way to honor our natural world." This event is free and open to the public; registration is required.
Textile Talks features weekly presentations and panel discussions from the International Quilt Museum, Quilt Alliance, Studio Art Quilt Associates, and Surface Design Association. The programs are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.
