Entranced by the beauty of these #quilts, the #slave #history they tell, the spirit of #community they shout, the indefatigable power of the #women responsible for their creation, and the role of a #river #meander in their making. Dark and bright narratives of people, place, and memory all woven through these sumptuous works of #art in #textile. #WomensArt #AfricanAmericanArt #FolkArt #Gee’sBend #Alabama #River
