X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>Myriad Moons</em> by Simone Elizabeth 
 Saunders is a celebration of the joy\, beauty\, and excellence of Black an
 d brown women across the Prairies and beyond.</p>\n<p>Saunders constructs 
 elaborate textiles that combine her professional background in theatre\, d
 ramaturgy\, and storytelling with visual art to highlight the stories\, ex
 periences\, and achievements of Black women. &nbsp\;Equipped with a tuftin
 g gun and punch needle\, she embeds imagery connecting her female subjects
  to renewal and abundance\, alongside with symbols of strength\, justice\,
  and resilience. Coining the term &ldquo\;Black Nouveau&rdquo\; style\, sh
 e embeds influences of Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles along with her J
 amaican visual heritage into vibrant and rich tapestries for which Saunder
 s has become internationally recognized. Through this work\, Saunders not 
 only counters longstanding power structures of the Canadian art world but 
 brings greater visibility to the experiences and labour of Black and brown
  women in contemporary society.</p>\n<p><img src="https://static.libnet.in
