In this episode, Mel Beach is back with us! Mel and I took on a convo about activism quilts, and how they appear out in the world – both throughout history, and in the current landscape of both artistic activism and politics. We talk all the facets of making this work, curating it, displaying it, and experiencing it as a viewer. And what to do when you come across work that isn’t your cup of tea.

Mel has also been making up a storm of fun stuff on her IG feed, using watercolor instead of fabric for the moment. We talk about how making the ugly stuff helps you make the good stuff!
