Artist Talk with Carrie Hill

Join us for an artist talk with Carrie Hill (Akwesasne Mohawk) of Chill Baskets as she shares the traditional basketry techniques passed down through her family and ancestors, which she continues to use in crafting her black ash fancy baskets.

Hill will discuss the intersections of traditional black ash basketry, contemporary art practice, and the urgent environmental issues tied to this material tradition. The black ash tree faces devastation from the invasive emerald ash borer, threatening both the ecological and cultural continuities of this deeply rooted practice. FREE
