Artist Talk : This Woman’s Work, Community Quilting & Storytelling Project

Join us at The Community Folk Art Center on Thursday, December 5th for an artist conversation with Dr. Rochele A. Royster. 

During an evening of artistic dialogue learn more about the captivating “This Woman’s Work Art Exhibition, Community Quilting & Storytelling Project,” which highlights the often-overlooked contributions of Black women, starting with the story of a Black herbalist from 1733 who lived near Ithaca, New York. The exhibit traces the pivotal work of Black women from the past to the present, demonstrating how their community care and mutual aid have shaped Central New York and the communities where they lived and worked. This innovative project, initiated by artist and community psychologist Rochele Royster, brings together ten local artists to create artwork that celebrates the profound impact of Black women’s community care in Syracuse and Central New York.

This event is free and open to the public, refreshments will be provided.
