The Georgia Museum of Art’s mission to make art engaging and accessible to all audiences isn’t confined to Athens; it reaches the whole state. The museum and independent guest curator Didi Dunphy are presenting “Seams to Be: New Approaches to Textile Techniques,” the fourth installment of “Highlighting Contemporary Art in Georgia,” a series of triennial traveling exhibitions that aim to make contemporary art accessible to large and small communities across the state. This chapter focuses on textile artists who are transforming traditions of craft while celebrating the labor of handwork.
