Event Details
"Threading Legacies" presents a profound narrative woven into the very fabric of Memphis's history, paying homage to the Black women quilters whose craftsmanship has been a cornerstone of cultural heritage and storytelling. This exhibition is a celebration of resilience, artistry, and the enduring power of community. By showcasing these magnificent quilts, each a patchwork of stories and dreams, the library honors not just the individual creators but the collective spirit that has sustained and enriched the Black community through generations. It's an acknowledgment of the quilts as both artifacts of personal and communal history and as vibrant expressions of creativity and identity.
