4) Democracy 2020: Craft & the Election
With an important election around the corner, Craft in America Center presents a virtual exhibition of works made by 21 artists from across the U.S. who express their concerns about social and racial injustice through objects and images made of craft-based materials of everyday life. The dynamic objects in this exhibition address key issues underlying the 2020 election and the American political landscape. Employing glass, fiber, ceramics, metal and wood, these artists use their media to voice concerns, point out injustice and inequity, and potentially instill hope for a better future. Craft is inherently democratic and it is part of our national heritage. The objects in Democracy 2020 touch on the spectrum of topics that shape the fiber of our nation and our societal conflicts.
