Creative Greensboro names GROW artist-in-residence

Mental health, body positivity, goal setting — these are just a few of the topics LaToya Winslow plans to cover during her four-week residency with Creative Greensboro's GROW — the Greensboro Residency for Original Works, which kicks off next Wednesday.

Workshop participants will design journals that can either be used personally or developed into products.

Formerly an administrator in higher education, Winslow runs Mane Curl Press, an imprint where she creates the interior of covers and journals.

Winslow will be producing her own journal that focuses on resiliency during tumultuous times. She says the idea has been shaped by her own experiences as a queer Black woman.

“There’s this sense of surviving at all costs, right?" Winslow says. "But also being tired, and also needing a way to kind of process what’s happened and creating a plan for how we’re going to survive.”
