SHENEQUA is a Caribbean textile interdisciplinary artist and weaver. She received her Masters of Design in Fashion, Body, & Garment at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited her work in numerous galleries, and was a featured artist for Ties that Bind in American Craft Magazine, among many other places. In our conversation we talk about how she found her way to weaving, why she weaves with hair, how a family history of working with textiles influences her own work, and so much more.
