About the speaker
Faythe Levine is the assistant curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan WI. Her creative practice and curatorial vision is centered around ongoing themes of community, creativity, awareness, process, empowerment and documentation. She has made it a priority that her projects stay approachable and accessible to a large audience, interacting with people in a way that establishes creativity as a vehicle towards personal independence. Levine’s two most widely known projects, Sign Painters (2013) and Handmade Nation (2009), both feature length documentaries with accompanying books, have toured extensively in venues such as the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
