2025 → Learning from our Elders: A Showcase of Culture, Community + Craft
Learning from Our Elders: A Showcase of Culture, Community + Craft is a fiber arts showcase co-organized with Iman Usmani.
The showcase explored how this current generation of BIPOC fiber artists are honing the skills that they learned from their elders within their own fiber arts practice. The exhibit explored what does it mean to share a craft skill through generations? Are we crafting like our elders or have we turned the craft into something that is our own? Why do we feel connected to our cultures and communities when deep in craft?
The showcase featured artwork from local fiber artists and had a live craft circle - it was a day of celebrating the rich traditions of craft, culture and the communtiny we’ve built around it!
For the roll out of the event, I designed digital assets for socials and physical signage/ephemera for the day of. I also took photographs throughout the event. It was truly a joy and incredibly special combining my love for fiber arts and graphic design in the planning of this showcase :)
