Materializing Race: Making as Interrogatory Method

Cynthia Chin (Washington Library) and Philippe Halbert (Yale University)

A roundtable discussion on (re)creating objects and other items using traditional or historical methods.

***A Zoom link will be sent to registered attendees via email a day before the event***Building off of our first Materializing Race "unconference" in 2020 we invite you to join us for "Activation and Engagement II: Making as Interrogatory Method." How do traditional methods of making intersect with historical issues of race and identity? This and other questions will be considered as part of a roundtable panel discussion between heritage advocates, historic tradespeople, and scholars who ground their practice of (re)creating objects and other items using traditional or historical methods. <h3>Friday, April 9, 2021 at 1PM EST (via ZOOM)</h3><h3>Maker panel featuring:</h3><ul><li>Dianne Honoré, <a href="https://gumbomarie.com/unheard-voices-of-la%E2%84%A2" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Unheard Voices of Louisiana™</a></li><li>Juneisy Quintana Hawkins, <a href="https://www.juneisyhawkins.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">New York University</a></li><li>Justin Squizzero, <a href="https://www.theburroughsgarret.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Burroughs Garret</a></li><li>Sarah Woodyard, <a href="http://sewncompany.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sewn, LLC</a></li></ul>*Event schedule subject to change.
