Park Circle Gallery

The City of North Charleston’s Cultural Arts Department is pleased to announce that a joint exhibition of art quilts by local artist Torreah “Cookie” Washington and Ghanaian artist Eunice Maku Aiyku-Nartey will be on display at Park Circle Gallery from September 1-30, 2021. A free reception will be held at the gallery on Friday, September 10th, from 5 pm to 7 pm. Cookie and Eunice will have a Zoom conversation about their works and artistic processes at 6pm. The public is invited to attend. Sisters Across the Sea is an exhibition of fiber art celebrating the Motherline through dialogue between African American artist Torreah “Cookie” Washington and Ghanaian artist Eunice Maku Ayiku-Nartey. For the past 15 years Cookie has been curating the Annual African American Fiber Art Exhibition presented at North Charleston City Hall as a component of the North Charleston Arts Fest. This Park Circle Gallery exhibition was originally planned as a solo show of her work, but later became a collaborative effort when she extended an invitation to Eunice to debut her artworks in North Charleston. Introduced by a mutual friend, both artists create work that celebrates common themes of African history and heritage, celebrating community, and stories from their own lives.
