Author's Note
This guide draws thoughtful connections between needlepoint patterns and influential artists across cultures and histories. In doing so, it acknowledges that many art movements have been shaped by African and Indigenous traditions, often within the context of colonialism, enslavement, appropriation, and cultural erasure. Some sections include brief references to difficult histories such as slavery, forced displacement, internment camps, and systemic oppression.
These facts are included with care and respect, especially for BIPOC readers, and are offered not to sensationalize harm, but to honor truth and resilience, as well as speak on the artists' reclamation and recontextualization of cultural identity through their work.
