AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP
THE FORGOTTEN LEGACY
An event at Room & Board in New York.
In February 2020, BADG hosted a public conversation with a craft ambassador, a fiber artist, a textile artist, and a sourcing agent to discuss the artists’ creative processes as well as their commitment to honoring the legacy of the Black diaspora.
The event was hosted by Room & Board, 236 West 18th Street, New York, NY 1001.
BADG's public programming is designed to bring conversations from the Black design community to a wider audience.

Patti Carpenter moderated the discussion between Xenobia Bailey, a fiber artist; Eniola Dawodu, a textile artist and costume designer; and Colleen Pendleton, a sourcing agent.
