HOME OF GOOD: A Black Seattle Storyquilt
This project began in 2017, and evolved with the participation of the brilliant leader and educator, Dr. Maxine Mimms. She proposed creating accompanying curriculum. This quilt now belongs to Dr. Mimms, and she will be installing it in various Black cultural locations to be used as a living, teaching object. This is our debut exhibition.
Storme Webber is a Two Spirit, Alutiiq/Black/Choctaw, internationally-nurtured poet, playwright, educator, and interdisciplinary artist. She creates blues-influenced, socially-engaged texts and images exploring identity, art activism, and the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, memory and spirit. Storme’s poetry collections include Diaspora, Blues Divine, and the forthcoming Noirish Lesbiana. Her solo theatre works include Buddy Rabbit, Noirish Lesbiana: A Night at the Sub Room, and Wild Tales of Renegade Halfbreed Bulldagger. She has been highlighted in numerous anthologies, documentaries (including Venus Boyz, May Ayim: Hope in Heart, What’s Right with Gays These Days?, Living Two Spirit), and international performance tours.
