Join us for Tabitha Arnold: "The People’s Cathedral," a solo exhibition and accompanying artist residency.
Tennessee-based artist Tabitha Arnold creates tapestries whose wordless stories celebrate workers, envision people power through protest, and whose artistic vision confers beauty upon the architectural spaces of the contemporary working experience. Through symbols of the serpent and angel, Arnold’s work envisions a contemporary socialism animated by Christian imagery. Her work asks how good and evil, and what’s just and what’s wrong, shapes the lives and struggle of contemporary working people. Aren’t the workers themselves entitled to all their labour creates?
