Combining performance, installation, and live social sculpture, Weaving In, Weaving Out will be an upcoming major exhibition hosted within the Positive Exposure Gallery of site-specific fiber work by contemporary disabled artists. The title of the exhibition alludes to the spatial nature of the exhibition, where individuals come and go within the space, or drop in or out, over the multi-month duration that the gallery has become a live social sculpture, or a socially engaged art practice.
Join us for a digital discussion of the creation of this exhibition with curator Amanda Cachia, Positive Exposure founder Rick Guidotti, Intertwine Arts Creative Director Anna-Maie Southern, and a participating artist. The Zoom event will feature short segments from each panelist about their work and a Q&A from the audience.
