Heather Marie Scholl

Teaches at Chicago Botanic Garden

Heather Marie Scholl is an artist and activist specializing in embroidery and racial justice. This course combines her two loves. It builds on her fine art series, Whitework which uses whitework embroidery to explore white women’s roles in white supremacy, and the skills she has honed developing and facilitating the workshop Confront White Womanhood, which seeks to encourage white feminists to examine their own complicity to create a stronger, more intersectional movement for feminist liberation. 

Her work has been featured on i-D, Cosmopolitan, Bust, Huffington Post and Vice. She has traveled around the country with both projects.
