Local artist <\/span>Carole Frances Lung is Frau Fiber<\/span><\/a>, an East German garment worker and textile superhero who draws attention to the human cost of the garment industry through campaigns, performances and installations. Now, you can catch the tail end of her exhibition at the Huntington Beach Art Center, where Frau Fiber has moved her entire Long Beach studio. Lung helped start the HBAC back in the day, so this is a homecoming of sorts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
