This fall I had the honor of serving on a review panel for @centerforcraft with Rachel Winston, Black Diaspora Archivist, Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection, The University of Texas at Austin, LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections Hrag Vartanian, Editor-in-Chief and Co-founder of Hyperallergic. Had to recuse myself from projects connected to students and people I know, of course - and am super proud of how many of our students and alums from @macraftstudieswwc applied (Looking at you, Maru!) Huge congratulations to all the recipients!!!! I cannot wait for you all to learn more about these amazing researchers and their projects. Announcement: The Center for Craft is excited to announce our inaugural Center for Craft Archive Fellows! The Craft Archive Fellowship supports archival research that tells more accurate and expanded craft histories, leading to a more inclusive future for craft. These six Fellows receive a $5,000 honorarium to conduct research and will be published in a special issue of Hyperallergic and a virtual program with the American Craft Council.  Congratulations to our 2022 Center for Craft Archive Fellows: Photos follow this order: Maru López (San Diego, CA) Craft, Lists, and Fairs: Constructing Puerto Rican Identity in the 1950s Siera Hyte (Waterville, ME) detsadatliyvsesdi: struggle to hold onto or cling to one another Elizabeth G.
