ERC Presents Kay Weiser

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Ending Racism is pleased to present Kay in sharing her fabric collage: 

“America’s Racism: Origins, Evolvement, HOPE”

Kay will share about what inspired her to create it and answer questions. See below for a preview.

Kay writes: In January through July of 2023, I submerged myself in anti-racism offerings by UUA, Meadville-Lombard, USG and others. As a result of the deep learning I was exposed to, my brain was full of extensive information. Because the words and information were literally swirling in my head, I knew I had to create something that would contain and represent all of it. Since 2020, I have been creating facial portrait collages out of fabric. This type of art expression is no longer new to me because I finished 10 portraits using the technique. I encouraged myself to come up with a fabric collage that would organize all I learned using scraps of fabric.
 
America’s Racism: Origins, Evolvement, HOPE was born. Six months later the fabric collage was completed. It measures 42″ x 37″. The intent, theme, and focus needs to be a conversation starter. My fabric collage is a deeply personal expression that I want to share with others. It represents the excruciating pain of being Black and white in America, but it includes the promise of hope and change.
