Art As Activism

Jovanny Hernandez Caballero

“I am a storyteller,” Jovanny Hernandez Caballero says firmly when asked how he describes his art practice.

Contemporary Fiber Artists

(Marianne Fairbanks, Kirsten Meier)

Bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors are what first draws viewers to Marianne Fairbanks’ art. But a closer look reveals something deeper.
