At this month’s Brooklyn Quilters Guild meeting, Georgia Lale (MFA 2016 Fine Arts) presented two works that draw attention to the issues of femicide and domestic violence: Flag and Neighborhood Guilt. Both works were censored from an exhibition at the Greek Consulate following backlash from far-right Greek politician Dimitris Natsiou in December of 2023; read more about it in an article from Hyperallergic here.
