SUMMARY:Online Exhibition: 6876 km — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Patchwork dress created by Sarah Nsikak (La Réunion) with textiles botanically dyed in Guinea and Côte d’Ivoire with artisans supported by There is No Limit Foundation and Mariama Fashion Production. The dress is inspired by the women of Namibia’s Herero tribe\, who—after surviving colonial wars in the early 20th century—designed\, wore\, and adapted the patchwork dress\, a style worn by their oppressors\, as a symbol of rebellion and empowerment.\n6876 km is the distance from the Garment District in Manhattan to The Association of Women Tie-Dyers in Modiya\, Kindia. 6876 km is also the distance traveled every 6 seconds by women and girls collecting water on foot for basic needs. \nIn the online exhibition 6876 km\, photographs by Jon Brown document the creation of a naturally dyed\, zero-waste collection of textile art\, including the plants and people who made them\, from New York City to Kindia\, Guinea\, and Grand-Bassam\, Côte d’Ivoire.   \nThis exhibition\, conceived by FIT Assistant Professor Theanne Schiros and created as part of FIT’s 15th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference\, celebrates the skills and cultural heritage of the people—especially indigenous artisans and women—who make our textiles\, the power of education and community as drivers of inclusive sustainable development\, and of fashion as a vehicle for change. \n\nView the exhibition here. \n\nThis virtual exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Art on the Ground: On Securing HOUSING with KJ Freeman
DESCRIPTION:Art on the Ground welcomes KJ Freeman (she/they)\, artist\, curator\, and founder of HOUSING\, to discuss the legacy she is currently building by creating HOUSING to function as a gallery/mutual aid space. Along with her mission to secure the place of artists of color within the art world by giving them a place to show their work and reach collectors\, and have a strong connection to the community. \nArtists turned art dealer KJ Freeman started HOUSING\, a gallery that remains dedicated to stimulating public discourse through the work of artists and creative practitioners whose works show critical commentary and intent. Part of HOUSING’s motivation is to support artists. Another part of their motivation is to support artistic practices and aesthetic experiences that contour the limits of visibility and advance the conditional inclusion of artists of color\, particularly Black artists. \nFor more information\, check out HOUSING here. \nAbout Art on the Ground \nArt on the Ground (AOTG) is an independent\, mobile\, grassroots conversation series that was developed in the Art History and Museum Professions program at FIT. With the guidance of its founder Shameekia Johnson\, it has become a destination for progressive and innovative art workers to share their experience of navigating the art world from the outside. AOTG is about creating new spaces of representation\, resistance\, and collaboration that reject the values of the market that govern the dominant institutions. \nAOTG brings students and newly emerging cultural innovators together with early and mid-career professionals who pass along knowledge and inspiration by sharing stories of how they followed their own path in making a career. The series focuses on sharing the voices of people excluded from or dismissed by the market operated by and for the powerful. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.

DESCRIPTION:Globally Connected @FIT and the Virtual Artist Talk Series presents Roberta Smith\, the co-chief art critic at The New York Times. \nAt the Times\, Smith regularly reviews museum exhibitions\, art fairs and gallery shows in New York\, North America and abroad. Since joining the newspaper in 1991\, she has written on Western and non-Western art from the prehistoric to the contemporary eras.

Special areas of interest include ceramics\, textiles\, folk and outsider art\, design and video art. \nShe has written critic’s notebooks on the need for museums to be free to the public; Brandeis University’s decision to close its museum and sell its art collection (later rescinded)\, and the unveiling of the Google Art Project\, which allowed online HD views of paintings in the collections of scores of leading museums worldwide. \nBorn in New York City and raised in Kansas\, Smith is a graduate of Grinnell College in Iowa. Before coming to the Times she wrote for the Village Voice. In 2003 she received the College Art Association’s Frank Jewett Mather Award for Art Criticism. \nAbout Globally Connected @ FIT \nThis is a series of 45-minute virtual discussions\, talks\, and presentations for the FIT community led by students\, faculty\, and alumni to advance global education at FIT in our new world without mobility.
