Growing up in Jim Crow South during the Civil Rights Movement,
Ramekon O’Arwisters had a safe haven,
quilting with his Grandmother where he was “embraced, important
and special.” These early memories prompted his nascent series
of unique crocheted/ceramic sculptures titled, Mending.
Employing ordinary household, or decorative pottery, broken and
discarded, O’Arwisters combined traditional crafts into a
dimensional woven tapestry, stripping both cloth and ceramic of
their intended function.
Through documenting contemporary activists focused on women’s
rights, migrant justice, workers’ rights and climate justice,
Andrea Bowers is committed to an intersectional
feminism that dismantles gender privilege and builds community
that collectively cares for one another. Her multivalent art
practice documents and honors the activists whose everyday
actions forge meaningful change. Bowers lives and works in Los
Angeles, Calif.
The materials employed in Arnold J. Kemp’s
interdisciplinary practice absorb or reflect light while
mirroring likeness, becoming haunted and ghostly metaphors for
absented and obfuscated black bodies. His work is in the
collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Studio Museum
in Harlem, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and
the Portland Art Museum, among others.
