Artist-In-Residence 2017 - Andrea Tsang Jackson

During her summer residency at the Museum, Andrea Jackson worked with visitors on THE “HERE AND ELSEWHERE” BEE. This project, inspired by the children’s storybook Selina and the Bear Paw Quilt, invited visitors to create a “Bear Paw” quilt block out of pre-cut fabric with adhesive backing. The blocks formed a larger design, representing how personal stories form a collective migration story of coming from “elsewhere”.
