Open Air: Artist Talk with Qualeasha Wood

We were joined by rising star and textile artist Qualeasha Wood for this installment. Inspired by a familial relationship to textiles, queer craft, Microsoft Paint, and internet avatars, Wood's tufted and tapestry pieces mesh traditional craft and contemporary technological materials. Dexter Wimberly explores the process behind her acclaimed work and its reflection on today's society. Recorded live on Tuesday, May 14, 2024.

About Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture:
The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture is a multi-disciplinary arts institution located in the heart of Charlotte, NC. Established in 1974, the Gantt Center's mission is to present, preserve, and celebrate excellence in the arts, history, and culture of African Americans and those of African descent through visual and literary arts, dance music, film, educational programs, theatre productions, and community outreach.
Named for Charlotte civic leader and former mayor Harvey Bernard Gantt, the Gantt Center is housed in an iconic, award-winning structure designed by architect Philip Freelon, co-designer of the Smithsonian National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
