About this Event
Bridgette Hickey (she/her) is an artist with a care-based practice that centers Black autistic psychic landscapes, with a methodology of using what she has on hand, and deep listening. She comes from blue mud earth tenders, people who prayed fiercely, with written words, hands-on bodies, with water and song, in dance and ecstatic expression. Her practice includes growing plants, archiving through prose, immersive installations, earth ceremony, quilting as a form of prayer, botanical dyeing, and facilitating story and grief circles in community. Hickey's practice is how she listens back to time, her body, and the many others here with her.Her work who remembers love at the river's edge was featured in the 2024 Oregon Contemporary Artists’ Biennial and in 2026 her work Symbology of an Echo was included at the Portland Art Museum. Currently she is stewarding Seed to Quilt a collaborative educational project approaching lineages of diasporic plants as sites of memory between her and Black queers/autists/mad women/dreamers/artists/elders.
