Curator Yulia Tikhonova wrote about the exhibition: “Hand & I brings together 24 artists who use the delicate medium of embroidery to address society’s most pressing issues. While the Hand patiently makes stitch after stitch— straight, backwards, stem, chain or blind—the I presided over a resounding call for resistance to inhumane social policy. These artists address the difficult problems of climate, race, gender, immigration, and the U.S. prison system—their needlework a cri de coeur for social justice.” The exhibition will feature several of the artists that were in Hand & I at the Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Program as well as several artists who are being added for the FAU iteration.
