Visit the Crown Heights studio of Trinidadian-American artist Keisha Baptiste, a wire bender and costume designer for the West Indian Day Parade. She builds large wearable sculptures from bent wire, fabric, feathers and sequins, drawing on the mas traditions of Port of Spain. See finished costumes, wire frames and works in progress, and hear about her process. Small group, casual conversation.
