Create a Collaborative Textile Artwork
Following alumna and exhibiting artist Susannah Mira’s artistic practice of using recycled materials, all of the fabric pieces used in this hands-on art making activity are remnants sourced from the Charlotte region’s textile industry.
Devadasi_NOW documentary clips by alumna artist Indrani Gall
Alumna artist Indrani Gall screens clips from her documentary, Devadasi_NOW—a creative non-fiction work/documentary on the challenges of eradicating Devadasi tradition, an illegal practice that throws young girls within poverty-stricken Dalit (untouchable) communities of northern Karnataka, India, into prostitution in the name of religion.
