SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles

HOW TO WEAVE A BRIDGE IN TIME AND SPACE with weaver Clare Hu


Listen Later

As an a Southern expat living in a northern state, it’s often nice to connect with somebody from home. We see things about our roots now that perhaps we didn’t when we were growing up immersed in the culture, and how we make sense of all that, for me and Clare at least, requires the help of textiles.

Clare Hu was born in Atlanta to parents who’d immigrated from China in the 1990s. Clare now lives in Brooklyn, and in this conversation we explore:

① the role movement and immigration can play in an artist’s work

② how we can build bridges to the past no matter where we find ourselves in the present

③ how we can take up space in this world and exercise our power

You can learn more about Clare on their website and Instagram
