Rhiannon Giddens Instagram – Okay folks I’m departing a little from the usual this year. The usual historical posts take me upwards of two hours a day to do, and I have some intense writing deadlines that I have to use that time for – so this year I would love to focus on some contemporary folx who are mixing and matching the arts, history, and activism in creative ways.
February 1:
Republic of Yarnia @republic_of_yarnia
So, a literary historian who specializes in the Middle Ages settles in Ireland and hand dyes yarn with color ways inspired by portraits of Black Europeans in Medieval portraiture. Who quotes Audre Lord…and is herself a woman of color. I mean, come ON!!!!!
Check out her page, her instagram, her gorgeous yarn, and her story.
I’m hoping we meet someday soon!
