I'm part of the Fiber Artists for Hope group of Art Quilters. We have made art about social issues, and our group exhibit of "The Unspoken Truth About Color: A Dialogue in Art Quilts About Racism" has been travelled around the country. It has now been published in the Quilters Newsletter, with some of the Art Quilts from the exhibit. Mine isn't in there, but I feel the exhibit is well represented. If you don't subscribe, you can pick up an issue in the library if you want to take a look, or check out our blog: http://fiberartistsforhope.blogspot.com/p/some-photos.html
It's good to know that the issue of racism is getting attention and venues are willing to show it - and share the message that we are all part of the human race!
I'm glad to know the group exhibit "The Unspoken Truth About Color" is featured in QN. I remember your piece when you posted it in the SAQA critique group. Very clever with the heartbeats depicted.
