In Times of Seismic Sorrows
Aug 21 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Center for Craft

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

We want everyone in our beautiful community to feel that they are welcome to share their art form. We want our audience to witness the wonderful diversity that we contain.
This year, any drag-style entertainer is welcome to compete for this prestigious title. That includes but is not limited to Femmes, Queens, Transgender Entertainers, and Kings. The winner will reign as the face of Blue Ridge Pride.
