Needle Arts Group
In June Needle Arts and Discover Art partner for a tour of Radical Stitch!
Radical Stitch is the largest exhibition of contemporary Native beadwork ever presented in North America making its only US appearance at the Eiteljorg. With more than 100 works by Native bead artists, Radical Stitch features many techniques and designs that tell stories and address contemporary issues. In the mid-1800s, Native American/Indigenous artists replaced porcupine quills with glass beads obtained from fur traders to adorn clothing and containers. Today artists use bead art in conjunction with new media to make connections to global exchange and cultural resilience.
