About this Event

Bring a piece of cloth that means something to you and share why it's special to you. I'll quilt these fabrics into a mosaic of the beauty in the Bronx.

We'll meet in section 9/10!

Over the last few months, I have been thinking about how vibrant the Bronx is and how this vibrancy often shows up in how we dress.

The closest thing to your skin is cloth, and how we fashion ourselves is a direct representation of our lives.

I began thinking about what it would look like to capture this beauty in a celebratory textile...

So ya girl got funding and is finally ready to make it happen! Can't wait to see y'all there.

Supported by Home-Based Visual Arts produced by Pepatián: Bronx Arts ColLABorative in partnership with Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture.
