Presented by SAQA: "Join Jennifer Scanlan, executive director of JRACraft, for a Textile Talks conversation with artist Luke Haynes exploring quilts in public art. Haynes, whose work brings together traditional quilt structures, bold contemporary imagery, reclaimed textiles, portraiture, and installation, describes his practice as “a modern collision with tradition.” In this discussion, Scanlan will speak with Haynes about what makes quilts especially meaningful in public spaces, where their histories of function, memory, and community take on new visibility. Together they will consider quilts as architectural, sculptural, and social objects—and what happens when a form often associated with intimacy becomes part of the public realm."
