Presented by the Surface Design Association: "For some, the universal themes of memory, trauma, and suffering inspire work that considers how we mourn and memorialize our dead. Through stitches, color, textures, and shapes, we give voice to and honor those whose lives were cut short. Join us for Dignifying the Dead: Memorialization through Fiber Art with Caren Garfen, Robin Bernstein, and Mirka Knaster - three fiber artists who translate memory and loss into physical objects, giving voice to individuals for whom no physical memorial may exist."
