SHARING THE STORIESOF THE ELDERSJune 13, 6-10pm@CAD East
Repurposing fabric from her childhood home in Southern Appalachia, Cassie Hamrick surveys concepts of memory, heritage, and craft through an autoethonographic, socially critical lens. “Country chic” pattern and aesthetic stands as a window into intersecting histories of capitalist, industrial, racial, and gender violence. Examining relationships between loving, nostalgic and disturbing senses of truth and home, Sharing the Stories of the Elders wades the shallows of memory to uncover ethereal stories of nation and childhood.
