AND STILL WE RISE IN 2018, May
5, 2018
“And Still
We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations” chronicles
400 years of significant events that have transformed social justice for
African Americans on 67 story quilts hand-crafted by artists in the Women of
Color Quilter’s Network (WCQN).
Curated by
Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi and organized by the National Underground Railroad Freedom
Center and the Cincinnati Museum Center, this national traveling exhibition
showcases the diversity of techniques and textiles used in quilting, and its
enduring appeal as forms of folk art and narrative storytelling.
A visual
exploration of history from the 17th to 21st centuries, the exhibition reveals
the triumph of the human spirit, inspiring visitors to reflect on 400 years of
African American history to commemorate Black History Month at the California
Museum.
