Symposium: Gathering by the Motheroot
Join us for an afternoon of conversations with contemporary quiltmakers, scholars, curators, and artist-activists reflecting on African American quiltmaking as a present practice and an inheritance to steward for the future. Inspired by the epigraph from poet Marilou Awiakta to Alice Walker’s classic essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” the symposium will bring together those working in the expanded field of Black textile art to explore how the “motheroot” of quiltmaking—understood as a creative repository and source of collective care and power—can be nurtured and extended through contemporary practices of preservation and art making.
