Stitching Stories: A Journey through Black Quilting Artistry
This event is in the past.
Celebrate the rich tapestry of African American culture throughout February in a new display in the UGL atrium called "Stitching Stories: A Journey through Black Quilting Artistry." The exhibit focuses on the vibrant world of quilting by Black women, a craft that goes beyond textile to weave tales of creativity, resilience and cultural significance.
This exhibition showcases images of quilts and honors the legacy of Black quilters who have contributed to the cultural mosaic. Each image is an application of fabric and stitch, displayed to commemorate Black quilting artists and remind us of our theme for Black History Month: African Americans and the Arts. Each quilt tells a story, each stitch embodies a legacy – a living testament to the enduring cultural impact of Black quilting artists. Stop by the UGL anytime throughout the month of February to see the exhibit and learn more.
