QUEER THREADS! Meetup for art plus coffee afterwards
The San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles is featuring the traveling exhibition QUEER THREADS this month. Let's have a meetup there on Saturday, August 12th, 3 PM, and enjoy this art celebrating our community! Afterwards, we can go across the street and enjoy some coffee at SOMA!
Queer Threads is a traveling group exhibition and coffee-table book exploring contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer experiences through fiber and textile traditions. This latest iteration spotlights 38 works by 37 artists with roots in the American West, Northwest, and Southwest, as well as work from the museum’s collection. From the impeccably finished to the intentionally raw, many works are fully executed through thread-based processes such as crochet, embroidery, quilting, and weaving, while others interact with animation, clay, light, metal, and photography. Each artist's use of material choices and technical finishes suggest poetic and subversive intentions.
RSVP - not required, but helps with planning!
