Next Textile Talk (free, Zoom, May 6, 2pm Eastern): Jim Arendt--Denim and Persistence in Difficult Times, SAQA
Jim Arendt's practice is rooted in understanding how we relate to labor. His close proximity to the manufacturing and agrarian landscapes of America, as well as the dramatic shifts in both sectors of the economy during Jim's lifetime, has led him to pursue an understanding of America's people and craft.

The Quechua women weavers of Peru's Sacred Valley are keeping traditional ways of life and art alive, and providing themselves and their families with financial stability with structural help from a cooperative. The women not only weave, but raise the alpacas, shear them, spin and dye the fibers into yarn.
