Fiber artists from the Women of Colors Quilter Network discuss works featured in the traveling exhibit “And Still We Rise: Race, Culture & Visual Conversations.”
Curated by Women of Color Quilters Network founder Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi in partnership with the Cincinnati Museum Center and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the exhibit features 67 hand-crafted story quilts designed by fiber artists from California and across the U.S.
A chronicle of the African American experience from the 17th through 21st centuries, each of the quilts depicts a transformational moment in our nation’s history and ongoing evolution of social justice over the last 400 years.
Exploring topics such as civil rights, race relations and gender equality, “And Still We Rise” inspires reflection and action on many issues challenging America in 2018 and opens Feb. 6, 2017 to commemorate Black History Month at the California Museum.
