Interlaced

[2023)

I was proud to co-curate Interlaced: Celebrating Women's Work, a group exhibition on view March 3rd - 10th, 2023 at The Bakery Atlanta’s South Downtown Gallery.

This group exhibition was dedicated to fiber art and domestic handcrafts historically regarded as women’s work and not art. The themes of this show were inspired by the message and influence of feminist artists ranging from Judy Chicago's work during the Women’s Liberation Movement in the 1970s to contemporary artists working today like Bisa Butler.

Through an open call, Chrysta Avers and I co-curated a diverse show featuring quilting, embroidery, needlework, ceramics, and more.

Featured artists:

Ali O'Leary ~ Anna K. Betts ~ Brianna Valmont ~ CAMISHA BUTLER ~ Frida López ~ Gabriela Canel ~ Johanna Norry ~ Jordan Kady ~ Juleah X ~ Kate Gaither ~ Kimani johnson ~ Niki Gajjar ~ Sally C. Garner ~ Sarah Keys ~ Shahnaz Nia ~ Sydney Walker

As the granddaughter of two fiber artists, this show meant a lot to me. My co-curator, Chrysta, and I organized this group exhibition through an open call. For the first week of Women’s History Month, we filled The Bakery’s gallery with fiber art and domestic handcrafts historically regarded as women’s work and not art.
