Mixed-media quilter and painter Dindga McCannonʼs five-decade career has bridged personal and social histories through exploration of music, cultural heritage, feminism, and collective action. An early influencer of textile artwork, found-object quilting, and wearable art, her works expand upon the legacy of African-American culture and historical memory, drawing the viewer into her world as she imbues hercanvases and tapestries with the sounds, feelings, and stories of women — icons, family, and friends who shape her vibrant universe. McCannonʼs work is in the public collections of the Brooklyn Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and Michigan State University, among others.
