Join us on the February 7 Free First Saturday for a screening of “The Quilting Women of Gee’s Bend” (2025, NR, 53m).This one-hour documentary explores how an isolated community of women in rural Alabama became respected worldwide as the creators of celebrated woven works of art. Established during enslavement, the nuanced quilting practice in Gee’s Bend was passed down from mothers to daughters for generations, surviving everything from reconstruction to Jim Crow to the Civil Rights Movement to the present day.
Free as part of Free First Saturday; no reservation needed to attend. Seating in the auditorium is limited to 250 on a first-come, first-served basis.
Free First Saturdays are supported in part by CAMPUS USA Credit Union.
