The Museum of Beadwork in Portland, Maine is calling for new, existing, or historic works categorized as craftivism, protest, and resistance art.
The “Piercing the Silence: Everyday Art of Resistance” exhibition's purpose is to unveil the value of craftivism, resistance, and protest art works and the people who created them. As for many, art is used to express a person’s inner emotions and as a way to externalize a lived experience.
As a beadwork museum, we typically show a preference for beaded art, however, in this exhibit we accept all works, new or historic, created with needles as a primary tool including: knit/crochet, embroidery, quilting, leatherwork, cross stitch, and of course, beadwork.
