About this Event
Weaving Dreams artist Kim F. Hall will be in conversation with innovative Black textile artists who have long been part of multi-generational networks of urban quilters. Quilters Christa Gilliam, Juandamarie Gikandi, and Jacqueline Johnson will join Hall to explore how their creative journeys in textile arts overlap with their research, writing and thinking about quilt-making as a modality of cultural inheritance. How do ritual, community resilience, and memory work become part of the act of making?. Audience members will be invited into an interactive conversation and hands-on activity celebrating quilting and textile arts. All are welcome, no sewing or quilting experience required.
Open to the public, with RSVP by January 27.
Hosted and co-sponsored by the Barnard Digital Humanities Center. Co-sponsored by the Department of Africana Studies, and Barnard Library,
