Organized by Catherine Mellinger
In Communion: Building on a Feminist Legacy. Artists were invited to create pieces in response to historical kneelers designed by Nancy-Lou Patterson and stitched by members of the Women’s Auxiliary of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary.
This has been an incredible project for me to curate with so many pathways I didn’t get to explore, but those I did are resounding. So grateful to artists @media___trix @barbarahobot @gjpenner @alisa_mcronald @sydneyhansonart for accepting the invitation to create pieces in response to these historical kneelers designed by Nancy-Lou Patterson and stitched by members of the Women’s Auxiliary of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary.
Their works meet ecology, mythology, fine craft, feminist frameworks and reflexive offerings pointing to indigenous dismissal within nature spirituality.
Curated by Catherine Mellinger.
Opening: Wednesday, October 21, 5–6 pm, with mingling and tea after.
