Abstract
The 2022 "Art in Barnard Lecture" complemented the Center's yearlong theme of "Mississippi Voices" by featuring fiber artist and art instructor Yolande van Heerden of Greenwood, Mississippi. In this SouthTalk, van Heerden discusses some of the projects she has led in partnership with the nonprofit ArtPlace Mississippi.
Yolande van Heerden teaches a wide range of art classes, including sewing, quilting, and garment/fiber art projects. A native of South Africa, van Heerden celebrates her homeland's cultural diversity through her community outreach work, and she draws up the richness of its fabric tradition in her own creations.
