Apr 1, 2026: Emily Baker (sculpture, public art) Artist Lecture at Canady Creative Arts Center
Emily Baker’s work studies manufacturing industries and honors our industrial past while actively re-envisioning who is included in its future. By investigating the worker’s role in relation to automation and global commerce, her work bridges gaps between materials, industries, and bodies, exposing the histories embedded in items we rely on every day. Centered on identity, repair, and retroactive healing, both within the body and of place, she references the fragility of industry alongside the seismic shifts shaping the future of work.
This is a free, non-ticketed event.
Baker is the 2025-26 WVU Sculpture Tour Invitational Artist-in-Residence.
