About the artists:
Lauren Podjun was born from the fresh waters of Lake Michigan and raised in the windy mountain ranges of Wyoming. The natural world surrounded her, teaching Lauren to listen to the songs the trees sang and how to sing along. Meanwhile, the need to write her own stories grew inside her chest, blooming and expanding in her lungs. With the spell of escapism at work, flowers grew from her eyes, and stories sprouted from Lauren’s fingertips. Since then, she has traveled through snow, wind, and sun to share her stories with those willing to listen.
Chloé Duplessis: Informed by plantation life practices of the late 1800's, 12 Tablecloths is an immersive art experience that offers an Afro-futurist re-imagining of a Southern dining table.
Inspired by a decade of research anchored in the history of domestic service, early American culinary traditions, and the ideology that birthed the United States, 12 Tablecloths respectfully presents lesser known truths about our shared history, and leverages them in pursuit of an authentically inclusive future. 12 Tablecloths opens July 13th and runs through September 30, 2024 at the Center for Colorado Women's History in Denver.
Chloé Duplessis is a legally blind artist, curator and historian committed to creating work that centers equity, accessibility and healing. In doing so, she seeks to center the importance of shared history, and erode the social constructs that oppress people of color and those navigating disability.
