During the pandemic I started experimenting with soak+dye and fold paint on used and discarded textiles (bed linens and tablecloths from the local hotels and restaurants that kept closing down) and it was a revelatory experience! I had no knowledge of Sam Gilliam until the algorithms suggested textile artists and I was speechless when I saw that Gilliam made these out-of-the-frame canvases in 1972 (when I was born!) and to think that I was playing with this technique 50 years later! What a ground breaking artist he was, and very unknown outside certain circles! He needs to be more celebrated. Thank you for the video.

Thank You for uploading this videoclip! Honestly i think he did sucsess in making at least some people less hateful, at least to me the paintings always made me smile for some reason, despite the hard fetish some people did critic, the persons in the paintings looks so happy and seem to enjoy life and love that spans ower the borders, but i mean it in a good way. It is a world of regardless and inclusive love across the social and cultural borders to me. Genuine Love should be for everyone!
I just went through and experienced this exhibition today, and as a Black trans person it was amazing. It was both a bit scary due to the entire vibe of the room yet what was more terrifying was the fact that this is what it’s like to be black and trans. I couldn’t help but cry a little while inside because no exhibition has made me feel so seen and understood like this piece here. And I cried for those in my community whom didn’t make it home safe. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley is an AMAZING artist who honestly deserves so much for making our voices/stories be heard 💛🌺🏳️⚧️
