FIBER VISITING ARTIST 

HOPE WANG

https://www.hopewang.com/

                 

Hope Wang is an artist, arts facilitator, and entrepreneur based in Chicago, IL. In her studio, she combines the language of textiles, manual labor, and architecture, by translating images of factory parking lots, construction sites, and pedestrian garbage through weaving and printmaking.

She runs LMRM “loom room,” a floor loom rental studio where she hopes to broaden accessibility to weaving equipment for fiber artists in Chicago.   Wang believes artist’s pay is an equity issue, and her research interests include structures for better practices in the creative sector. Wang is also a co-organizer of Chicago Textile Week 2019 and 2021, Chicago's exposition connecting and strengthening textile communities throughout the city.
