Preview talk and booksigning for RAW HOPE and CATCH

Artist Janet Jaffke whose exhibition Raw Hope opens the next day, will talk about her international art journey, and how it
affects her fiber and textile art. She will discuss how her Buddhist practice, as well as living as
an expat in Alsace, France (near Basel, Switzerland), influences her work too. Jaffke and Laurie
ShoulterKarall, a Chicago-based writer who works for gun violence-prevention organization
Chicago Cred, co-authored the book Catch while living on different continents. Book copies
will be available at the event for $45 each via cash or Venmo.
