Diana Weymar in Conversation

November 22 @ 2:00 pm3:30 pm

Vibrant woman smiling against colorful wall of handwritten notes and artwork at NOW Toronto event, emphasizing community engagement and local arts.

Join artist, craftivist, author, and creator of Tiny Pricks Project Diana Weymar  in conversation with Joyce Wieland: Heart On curators Georgiana Uhlyarik and Anne Grace.  Through stitching quotes on repurposed textiles,  Weymar’s work invites the viewer to think, consider current political discourse, and take creative action.  In collaborative conversation with the curators, they will make connections to Joyce Weiland’s artwork and feminist practices through materiality and content.  Weymar will have a few of her works on display to look at during the talk.

During this conversation, makers are encouraged to bring their stitching projects to work on while listening.  If bringing a project, you are asked to bring projects that only use synthetic materials, no larger than 9 x 12 inches, and bring them in a sealed plastic bag.  We kindly ask that the work goes back in the bag after the talk.  The reason for asking for synthetic materials in a sealed bag is to help with conservation efforts as bugs like to travel and hide in natural materials.  Bugs and pests in an art museum are not good for the artwork.
