Queering Wood Craft: an LGBTQIA+ Woodworkers Roundtable Part 9 – From Conversation to Exhibition
The Museum for Art in Wood hosts a series of conversations with queer woodworkers. Curator, publisher, and educator Deirdre Visser, will lead the next edition of the roundtable on the evolution from conversation to exhibition with leading queer woodworkers and artists in wood.
Join us for this enlightening and fun afternoon.
San Francisco native Deirdre Visser is an independent curator, educator, and visual artist in the city’s Mission District. Her work is rooted in the belief that arts and culture advance community engagement and catalyze discourse across difference. For more than a decade she’s engaged with the arts as a form of civic participation, working collaboratively with the Skywatchers Ensemble in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district, and has been a woodworker for three decades. She is the author of Joinery, Joists, and Gender: A History of Woodworking for the 21st Century (Routledge, 2022) and co-curator with Laura Mays of Making a Seat at the Table, a ground-breaking exhibition of works by women and gender nonconforming makers which opened in November 2019 at The Museum for Art in Wood.
This event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets, nurtures, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art, craft, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year.
