Being with Clay: An Artist Talk with Sequoia Danielle Barnes

Join artist Sequoia Barnes for an interactive artist talk about her practice in relation to embodiment and clay. Sequoia’s work is primarily textile art and ceramic sculpture but often involves stitching/embroidery, installation, and assemblage. It is predominately informed by her research-led exploration of black radical art practice which is the creative practice of subverting white supremacy through the (semiotic) deconstruction of black diasporic representation and symbolisms.

Sequoia Danielle Barnes' work is primarily textile art and ceramic sculpture but often involves stitching/embroidery, installation, and assemblage. It is predominately informed by her research-led exploration of black radical art practice which is the creative practice of subverting white supremacy through the (semiotic) deconstruction of black diasporic representation and symbolisms. Her work is also heavily informed by post-structuralist semiotics, and her work is centered around the importance of making processes, rituals, and foregrounding the creation of ‘art’ as equally important as the resulting object.

This artist talk is open level for black people and people of colour who identify as women and/or non-binary.
