Episode 031 In Which We Talk with Hollis Chatelaine Nov 28 2010




Quilting...for the Rest of Us show

Summary: In this episode, Hollis Chatelaine describes her initiative, Imagine Hope, a special exhibition featuring her art quilts and the work of photographers on global issues such as poverty, war, refugees, environmental justice, and much more. The exhibit is extremely moving, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to talk with Hollis a little bit about her process, her quilts, and Imagine Hope's role in bringing people to awareness and action. (Following the interview, my usual announcements, listener comments, and Sandy update.) <br> <br> <br> <br> Hollis Chatelaine (right) and Leslie Genszler, vice president of the Imagine Hope team. (Also a wonderful person to talk to--I just didn't get it recorded!) <br> <br> For more information about Imagine Hope, visit<a href="http://www.imaginehopeworldwide.org">www.imaginehopeworldwide.or</a><a href="http://www.imaginehopeworldwide.org">g</a> and on <a href="http://http//www.facebook.com/#!/imaginehopefan">Facebook</a>. <br> <br> For Hollis Chatelaine's textile arts, visit <a href="http://www.hollisart.com">www.hollisart.com</a>, and on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hollis-Chatelain-Textile-Artist/102896635725">Facebook</a>. <br> <br> See the "<a href="http://www.quiltingfortherestofus.com/do-good/">Do Good" page</a> on this blog for information about the Imagine Hope shop--a great place for gifts (for others or for yourself!) that support this project.
