Earthseed Quilt, Part 4: Octavia's Neighborhood
Earthseed Quilt, Part 4: Octavia's Neighborhood, 36x40, September 2022, commercial and upcycled textiles
Much of Octavia Butler’s work and particularly the Patternist series explores how people organize themselves together in groups, and where “special” people literally fit inside a community. Afrofuturism knows that geography matters as power is redistributed. Jewish history knows that ghettos become targets. My experiences in public policy and education reform certainly confirm that where we draw our boundaries affects funding and staffing and voting in favor of those who already have access to money and housing security. How do we remake our physical systems to promote equitable communities?
