Episode 33: DARNstudio




Mister Welfare show

Summary: This week, Mister Welfare is joined by Merele Williams-Adkins as they visit the DARNstudio, to speak with artists David Anthone and Ron Norsworthy. The conversation delves into the duo's project, "Another Country," in which they construct quilts from custom-printed matchbooks and thread. These quilts harken back to the quilts of the Underground Railroad, and contain visual symbolism relating to different components of structural and institutional racism. David and Ron go in-depth on the symbolism and the process of making these quilts, along with poignant reflections on the history and transformations of institutional racism in America.
