Announcements 

Logan Lecture: Sonya Clark

Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 6 pm • Denver Art Museum, Sharp Auditorium – Hamilton Building, Lower Level

Sonya Clark transforms everyday fiber materials—hair, flags, and found fabrics—into profound statements on race, culture, and class. Working with her chosen objects, Clark weaves, stitches, folds, braids, dyes, pulls, and snips threads of ideas to create new little-known objects from American history, and sought to bring greater visibility to figures from the African

diaspora.

This lecture is co-sponsored by the Avenir Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion and the Modern and Contemporary Art department.
