Wall Power: Spectacular Quilts from the American Fold Art Museum
Quilts are America’s great art experiment: monumental compositions in color, pattern, geometry, and representation, made over more than three centuries, mostly by women. The quilts presented in this exhibition are graphically striking examples that embody a sense of “wall power.” The quilts on display range across time and place from the mid nineteenth to the late twentieth century, from Alabama to Pennsylvania.

embroidery, Nassar uses this craft to explore the complex interplay between ritual and diasporic life.
