Artist-in-Residence Talk: Emma Welty
April 25, 2023 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm Griswold House
Join us for artist talk with our April Artist-in-Residence Emma Welty, whose work utilizes ancestral traditions of Armenian carpet and needlelace to explore economies of labor, notions of “heirloom” and cultural transmissions within a digital diaspora. She will discuss the work currently on view in Social Fabric: Textiles & Contemporary Issues in the context of her larger bodies of work, as well as what has been keeping her busy in the AiR studio.
Free, RSVP recommended.
