Threads of Resistance & The Unraveling- Fuller Craft Museum

December 9 – 455 Oak St., Brockton – Fuller Craft Museum

Threads of Resistance & The Unraveling by Adrienne Sloane

Threads of Resistance is an exhibition of modern and traditional quilts designed to protest the Trump administration’s actions and policies. The project was conceived by a group known as the Artist’s Circle. They explain, “We take issue with the divisive actions of the Trump administration. Our art explores our emotional responses to these actions, in the hope that it will encourage civilized, constructive conversation and, ultimately, better understanding of one another’s viewpoints.”

In addition, view a new provocative work by Watertown’s own Adrienne Sloane – The Unraveling. Sloane’s hand-knit flag partially obscures a copy of the U.S. Constitution printed on silk. The artist has begun to unravel the flag, leaving piles of loose yarn on the plinth underneath, partially revealing the historic document. Sloane will return periodically to further unravel the flag until May 20, 2018. The Unraveling echoes the craftivist spirit of two upcoming exhibitions at Fuller Craft Museum, Revolution in the Making: The Pussyhat Project opening January 21, and Threads of Resistance on display December 9. Please join us for the opening reception of both exhibitions on January 21 from 2:00 – 5:00 pm.
