Midweek movement… For our Autumn/Winter 2021 issue, Holly Black took a deep dive into the contemporary weaving revival currently taking the art world by storm. In the piece, she spotlights some of the medium’s most innovative pioneers, including the American artist and weaver Diedrick Brackens—the author of this striking work. “West African weaving, European tapestry and quilt-making from America’s southern states come together in Bracken’s works,” writes Black. “[And] he uses this fusion to visualise the multifaceted narratives of African-American and queer identities.” Purchase issue 46 from Elephant Kiosk now to read on, and pick up three back issues for the price of two while you’re there!
