084In this episode, Mel Beach is back with us! Mel and I took on a convo about activism quilts, and how they appear out in the world – both throughout history, and in the current landscape of both artistic activism and politics. We talk all the facets of making this work, curating it, displaying it, and experiencing it as a viewer. And what to do when you come across work that isn’t your cup of tea.Mel has also been making up a storm of fun stuff on her IG feed, using watercolor instead of fabric for the moment. We talk about how making the ugly stuff helps you make the good stuff!Show Noteshttps://melbeachquilts.com/Instagram: @melbeachquilts https://www.instagram.com/melbeachquilts/Bisa Butler - https://www.instagram.com/bisabutler/?hl=enTimna Tarr - https://www.timnatarr.com/Meg Cox - https://megcox.com/SAQA - https://www.saqa.com/Marianne Fons - https://www.mariannefons.com/Social Justice Sewing Academy - https://www.sjsacademy.org/Nancy Stovall - Just Quilting PDX - https://www.justquiltingpdx.com/Heather Cox Richardson - Jennifer Wilken Penick - https://www.instagram.com/jenniferwilkinpenick/?hl=enPlaying with a Full Deck - https://vmota.org/playing-with-a-full-deck/Fiber Fix Fam - https://www.thequiltcourse.com/offers/tqwzKvQN/checkoutHow to Own a Revolutionary Craft Biz is a reader-supported publication.
