With Support from the California Arts Council, Feminist Center for Creative Work will support community workshops in line with Yves B. Golden’s artist residency. The project, unifies text and textile to celebrate Black culture, with workshops exploring poetry, meditation, and quilting. Curated readings invite poets to discuss music and poetry. The residency culminates in an exhibition featuring Golden’s work and community writing, derived from the workshops, on textiles. A large-format publication through Co-Conspirator Press showcases interviews, lyrics, collages, and poetry from workshop participants.
