Learn more about the exhibit:
Ideas Evolve and Hands Create speaks directly to the artistry of this collective of African-American women, whose hands transform ideas into powerful textile expressions. Through fabric and thread, they craft exceptional art quilts that explore cultural heritage, social justice, and personal identity. These works—often imbued with spiritual and ancestral resonance—bridge generations, evolving traditional quilting techniques into bold, contemporary narratives. With each stitch, they shape layered stories that reflect both historical truths and visions for the future. Their innovative use of color, texture, and symbolism is a testament to the enduring power of creative hands guided by evolving ideas. More than art, these quilts serve as living documents—preserving, honoring, and re-imagining heritage in ways that both empower the maker and enlighten the viewer.
This exhibit will be on display in our Baxter and Elaine Perkinson Jr. Art Gallery until March 1st.
