“I want to have health care for my family. I want my daughter to be able to explore arts and science and all the things that they are taking away.” (with Gina Acebo, February 4, 2013 in Berkeley, CA), 2013/16 “That’s some of what solidarity means: that ongoing struggle to make things visible.“ (with Zara Zimbardo, April 23, 2013 in Emeryville, CA), 2013/16 Weinberg presents a series of prints where text serves as the thread to generate woven structures. The lines of text are in fact quotations excerpted from conversations with women activists, artists, and scholars throughout the Bay Area. As the economic recession has placed increasing pressure on the already tenuous experience of many in lower-income communities, Weinberg set out to hear their stories. The conversations unfold in people’s homes, often over a shared meal, and the process continues as each woman recommends several others to participate. Intimate exchanges about political action and daily life become the raw material for the production of new systems embodied both on the page and in a social fabric.
