About Guest: Christopher Martin is a multidiscipline artist from North Carolina exploring the African Diaspora and Indigenous histories. Driven by a desire to push cultural narratives, Martin confronts aesthetic perceptions of contemporary injustice. Cotton fibers are the primary medium of storytelling in order to reclaim the roots of the Atlantic slave trade. Christopher’s hand cut and sewn monumental tapestry banners in contrasted black and white images tell a surreal story of religion, captivity, and freedom. He has been awarded the first ever Artist-In-Residence from the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD AIR 2018), Inaugural Artist for ICA San Francisco Museum (2022), along with lectures both in the United States and Internationally. Specializing in: Tapestry, Tattoos, Installation, Illustration, Graphic Design, Film Making, Sculptures, Music Production, Photography
