I do truly apologize for the miscommunication. 02:36:42 Linda: Hi! i wonder if you could make the slide the main screen? The photos are really to small to see as inset. Thanks! 02:37:31 Betsy: Such powerful work, Indira. So appreciate being introduced to your art. Love how you integrate the written word in your weaving. Strong emotionally and visually. Love the integration of multimedia, too. Your deep exploration of history, politics and stories in relation to weaving is very inspiring. 02:37:48 Anne Bettina Pedersen: Beautiful work 02:38:39 Diana Baird N'Diaye: Thank you. Your work is wonderfully moving. 02:38:50 iPhone: Thank you so much for sharing your art & wisdom! 02:38:59 Sarah Kass (she, her): Well said, Indira. 02:39:45 Valerie: Very compassionate 02:39:50 Pamela Kittredge’s iPhone: I erected a Memorial for Covid deaths last summer. Because there was no place to grieve together in my town. 02:40:14 Virginia Mahoney: Thank you for pointing out the connection between caring for our own losses and reducing suffering in the world. 02:40:17 Pamela Kittredge’s iPhone: We were at 170000 then. 02:40:36 Linda Snay: What beautiful compassion. How inspiring. 02:41:28 Anne Bettina Pedersen: which article is that? :) 02:41:38 Lissa: I LOVED that letter so much! 02:41:51 American Craft Council: https://www.craftcouncil.org/magazine/article/indira-allegra-letter-penelope 02:41:52 Anne Bettina Pedersen: thank you! 02:42:00 Roseanne: It’s p.62 of the spring issue 02:42:11 Beth Goodrich: https://www.craftcouncil.org/magazine/article/indira-allegra-letter-penelope 02:42:15 Alex Phelps (they/them): Hey Beth, Indira’s pronouns are they/them :) 02:44:13 Sylvia Rhor: Beautiful! 02:44:50 Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her): Welcome Shanai Matteson! https://shanai.work/ | @shanai_matteson 02:46:56 Veronica Enrique (she/they), from Kumeyaay Territory called National City, CA: Thank you for the Native Land acknowledgement and Resistance Movement support. 02:47:08 Jacqueline Mallegni: Thank you for this compassionate and artful presentation. 02:54:05 mariethielen: I’m sorry to have to leave. 02:54:26 mariethielen: Another call. Thank you all. 02:54:44 Mike Klein: Thank you, Shanai, for reminding us how powerful art can be in social movements - such profound and humanizing ways to confront and to connect in the relationships between culture, identity, and land. #StopLine3 02:55:13 Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her): Thanks for attending Marie! 02:56:03 Veronica Enrique (she/they), from Kumeyaay Territory called National City, CA: Reciprocity, not extraction. 03:01:29 Sonya Clark: Thank you all for sharing such deeply resonant and powerful work. Sadly, I must go as well. With deep gratitude to Indira, Shanai, and Beth. Sonya Clark 03:02:03 Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her): Thanks for attending, Sonya! Great to "see" you! 03:02:35 Rachel Messerich, ACC (she/her): I wanted to again encourage all of our attendees to use this chat space for comments and questions. Thanks to those of you who have been responding! We offer this space for open, respectful, and safe conversation. 03:03:18 Virginia Mahoney: Thank you, Beth, for bringing out this discussion about de-centralizing the object. 03:06:33 Gail: Shanai, your words on extraction and it’s relationship to women (I know I am not expressing it well), but made me think of appropriation and how much of women’s work is appropriated and attributed to men. Telling our stories to other women is nourishing and caring for our souls. 03:07:00 Nova Clite: Consumerism is a form of extractivism. We give the ground of our souls when we blindly consume. 03:07:24 Erika Kates: love that idea of the front and the back of the cloth 03:07:39 Mike Klein: To both artists: how does your work confront and connect at the same time? 03:07:40 Marilyn Zapf: “No blank spaces, no blank pages.” Love that. Thank you, Indira. 03:08:03 Linda Snay: "Presence of the unspoken thing" oh, this resonates... 03:08:47 Sharon Sharp: Many thanks, Indira and Shanai, for your deeply meaningful reflections and the inspiring examples of your creative explorations. Also, thank you, Beth, for the thoughtful way you guided the discussion. 03:09:29 Samantha De Tillio: Shanai, I was touched by the way you drew parallels between the our destruction of the environment and how this influences our behavior within "society"--the destruction of each other (meaning the whole ecosystem, humans included). As well as the incredible point that the argument for the jobs fails to address the inequity of access to those jobs on top of the more commonly critiqued ethics of those jobs. 03:10:42 Pamela Kittredge’s iPhone: Thank you so much. It was so inspiring to hear all of you. 03:12:07 sthompson: shanai's process makes me think about the attempts by some who claim and practice privilege of extraction/erasure/discarding of those they see as "other" 03:14:20 C Lasch: Thank you to ACC, Indira, and Shanai for your contributions to our maker community and your richness of voice. You have validated how providing a space for healing the space for becoming a culture of care. ~ Callie, The Institute for Therapeutic Craft & Creativity 03:16:20 Anne Bettina Pedersen: That's crucial. The idea of caring for the future also and not just the here and now 03:16:28 Roberta J Lutgens: My goodness. I believe I witnessed two very important women creatives. Thank you for your deep work and thoughtfulness. Stay in touch with yourself. Your both special. Thank you Beth and others behind the scene ACC people that created this zoom event. 03:16:31 Samantha De Tillio: Yes! Intergenerational continuum! 03:17:36 _marion_: Such a powerful presentation!. Thank you to the artists and the American Craft Council 03:17:46 Derrick Te Paske: A great conversation. Thanks to all of you! 03:17:57 American Craft Council: If anyone has a question for our presenters today, please type your question in this chat window 03:18:07 Nova Clite: I truly feel at home here. Thank you! 03:18:26 Virginia Mahoney: Extraordinary session! Thank you so much! 03:20:48 Anne Bettina Pedersen: In The Care Manifesto, The Care Collective writes: "Our world is one in which carelessness reigns". Are you seeing signs that this will change/is changing after COVID-19? 03:21:59 Juliane Shibata: Given the pressures to self-promote in a digital landscape, are there ways that you as makers use social media platforms in ways that feel authentic to your practice? 03:23:07 lauraburkett: Pure inspiration. Thank you, Indira, Shanai, Beth and ACC! 03:23:17 Mindy Spritz: Thank you for this thoughtful presentation. 03:23:26 Betsy: Decentralize object, so much to contemplate. THANK YOU! 03:23:39 Gail: Thank you all. It was a wonderful presentation. 03:23:43 Veronica Enrique (she/they), from Kumeyaay Territory called National City, CA: Thank you for this presentation and your continued work. 03:23:47 Robin McClea: Great discussion, thank you! 03:23:49 Linda Snay: So inspired.
