Niki Dionne’s exhibit at the South Dallas Cultural Center, titled “Actual Footage of Me,” features needle felted sculptures and murals that depict Black women...
“I wanted this to kind of be a collection of work that I haven’t shown before, that shows my journey from when I started to now,” she said.
“Felting is basically taking loose wool, and you take a serrated needle, and you stab it repeatedly into like a backing of some sort,” she said. “It creates this really soft fabric and it’s almost like coloring with wool.” “This is an opportunity for me to like, work on myself and heal myself in my relationship with who I am as a Black woman, and also in a fun way, that’s not heavy,” she said.Art depicting Black women was largely absent from gallery walls Dionne encountered, and even when it was present, it didn’t always feel accessible to her.
