Local Motion: Bosnian Weavers Use Art to Heal from the Wounds of War

KVNF's Kate Redmond speaks with a local woman about Bosnian weaving. Claire Noone, an attorney in Paonia, not only works on asylum cases for survivors of the Balkan war, she also brings their handicrafts to market. We also hear from Dr. Danica Anderson, activist, social scientist and author of Blood and Honey on weaving icons and the importance of Imbolc, the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, which this year falls on February 2nd.

Kate Redmond was reared on a ranch in Routt County, Colorado in a large and boisterous family. Kate has enjoyed a career in audio and lighting, with previous stints at The Vilar Performing Arts Center, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and Strings Pavilion. Her interests include alpine skiing, yoga, poetry, mosaics, and she's currently writing a memoir about her time in Uruguay. After several years as a KVNF volunteer, she joined the staff in December 2020. She left the KVNF staff at the end of June, 2022, to take a position at KSUT in Ignacio, CO.
