NBO Connections "ᏔᎷᏣ The Basket" Public Art

NBO Connections

"ᏔᎷᏣ The Basket" Public Art - Opening Celebration
Since 2019, the Center for Craft has worked with members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Asheville community to create a new public art space inspired by Cherokee basketry. The installation, which is located on a historic Cherokee trading route, addresses the lack of recognition of Cherokee culture and heritage in downtown Asheville. Titled, “ᏔᎷᏣ The Basket,” this new public artwork allows visitors to learn about the Cherokee land, language, traditions, and culture that are still thriving today.

Celebrate this new landmark installation with us on Saturday, October 15th from 1 - 4pm ET at a free, family-friendly event, including:
Live craft demonstrations by the Museum of the Cherokee Indian Cultural Specialists
Meet and greet with Consulting Artist, ᎺᎵ ᏔᎻᏏᏂ Mary Welch Thompson (Eastern Band Cherokee)
Hands-on weaving activities (ages 12+)
Collaborative sculpture-building
Cherokee Fry Bread "Pop Up"
And more!

Spent a bit more time weaving on this challenging basket. I have 4 more rows of the red. Then, I am not sure because I have been concentrating on this part!

This weekend we visit MassMOCA exhibition “Ceramics in the Expanded Field” to see Anina Major's installation, All Us Come Across Water, which translates the art of plaiting, the basket-weaving of her Bahamian forebears, using clay in the place of palms. Her ceramic vessels archive the ephemeral craft of basketry—while celebrating the making and makers of a cultural tradition that has been co-opted by the tourist market.
