Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Marcia Bennett Male.
Marcia is a textile artist and stone mason, whose stitched works explore her personal experiences as a black woman living in modern Britain, and focus on black historical figures. Marcia's work uses simplistic form and hidden meaning to address topics that are deeply personal, whether it's her own mental wellbeing or the cultural context of black identity. In this first part of our NeedleXChange we talk about her forthcoming show in Brixton, how Marcia's textile work came to be and how she uses symbolism in her work,
If you enjoy the show, please share it with someone else that you think will like it.
