Spotlight: Vivian Chiu on Identity through Craft

Weaving histories and identity through craft is something our next spotlight shares with us, and we were lucky enough to visit the studio of ‘22 CultureWorks Grantee & RVA Woodworking Artist, Vivian Chiu! Vivian received a Building Capabilities grant last year to support studio equipment & safety in her creative work. We spoke to Vivian about current projects, inspirations, and finding community.
