Created by members of the Women of Color Quilters Network, the works on view demonstrate how today’s African American artisans are reinvigorating a traditional craft form and developing religious imagery that reflects their lives and communities. The unique quilts in Threads of Faith represent a blending of African and European religious traditions and illustrate a variety of interpretations, styles, uses, and techniques. Many display the maker’s delight in experimenting with non-traditional quilting materials, such as shell beads, metal, glass, and bone.
