Patrisse Cullors Instagram – I sat down with Janell Hobson for a really vulnerable and healing interview for my debut solo show – Between the Warp and Weft.
I spent about a year developing this work and feel very proud of the direction of my art.
This piece for @ms_magazine really puts into perspective the arc of my story. And I’m grateful Janell gave attention to the legacy of taking down Black women for sport.
The show is simple. It’s the use of spiritual materials to protect Black women. To push forward abolitionist aesthetics and build and aestheticize care.
Capitalism has lied to us about three things, 1. We can’t grow our own food, 2. Make our own clothes, 3. Make our own tools.
These works are tools. Tools to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Show is up until July 20th. I’d love to have you.
Special thank you to my nephew Chase Cullors who was my studio assistant and supported with fabrication on some of the work.
