Explored through a series of interviews, \u003cem\u003eDiasporic Threads \u003c\/em\u003ecollates their diverse practice in a potent reminder that anti-Blackness and misogynoir are global issues, contested and resisted at the intersections of race, art, and cultural memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharbreon Plummer, PhD is a public scholar, independent curator and artist whose work focuses on Black art history, Southern folkways, textiles and material culture.
