Calishat'Alcorn State professor says of her work on a Fannie Lou Hamer quilt: "As you engage with the art, the art engages with you. When it's talking to you, you have to listen or you'll never be able to finish anything. I'm serious about that."'

Granny Art (Shrimp) (Joni)@researchbuzz @inarticulatequilter Also, how does she not have her own website??
I found this and am thirsting for more! https://mdssam.omeka.net/about-the-artist
InarticulateQuilterShe seemed familiar and yep - https://mastodon.art/@inarticulatequilter/116120596964578025
I have found a number of quilters I research for #CelebratingBlackQuilters have little online presence. Or they had one and left (like Chawne Kimber) Can’t help but think racism is part of it. It’s got to be exhausting always defending your work against the white quilt establishment
@inarticulatequilter Chawne Kimber was on social media and left? My heart aches.
@artcollisions It was an amazing site with explanations of all her works to date, but she took it private and then stopped it all together
@inarticulatequilter So, not even social media? Just a website? UGH, why do people suck??
