Join curator Kristin Pedrozo for a closer look at ‘Of Salt and Spirit: Black Quilters in the American South’. Over the past twenty years, the Mississippi Museum of Art has amassed one of the largest quilt collections in the American South. This exhibition will feature highlights of handmade and machine-stitched quilts by renowned Black southern quiltmakers from the MMA’s collection, including Crossroads Quilters, Gwendolyn Magee, and several gifted by American photographer and quilt collector Roland L. Freeman on his travels.
Curated by Dr. Sharbreon Plummer, this exhibition and the accompanying publication seek to illuminate the processes and practices of Black Southern quilters while celebrating the enduring impact of quilting on communities and generations.
Following lunch, Kristin will lead guests on a guided tour of the exhibition.
