Join us for a workshop with Marietta Bernstorff of the MAMAZ collective of Oaxaca, Mexico, discussing the history of maiz and quilting in solidarity with others concerned about Mexico's native maiz seeds.  Participants will create one or more squaresof a collaborative quilt and cut, sew and embroider their personal interpretation of the corn issue, expressing their concern not only for their family and community, but also for the entire planet and all of us who inhabit it. The outcome will become part of the exhibition in a quilt format or artist cloth book. |
