Sheryl Saly Touré is a textile artist in the Bronx, NY. Her work examines the semiotics of textiles in the Black diaspora by documenting cycles of resilience, belonging, and empire. She works cloth and thread into pieces that narrate her experience as a Black woman remembering the world. Toure's work invites the audience to experience textiles as archives of memory and a language of collective identity.
