The Soul of Black Folks: 250 Years of Creativity, Leadership and Innovation

The Soul of Black Folks, featuring 50 artists of the Women of Color Quilters Network, celebrates the resilience and creativity of African American culture, utilizing quilts as a vehicle for healing, remembering and reclaiming narratives.

The quilts’ tactile and colorful qualities engage people emotionally through artist receptions, guided gallery tours and story quilt workshops.

The exhibition is organized by Carolyn Mazloomi, a nationally-acclaimed quilt artist, lecturer and founder of WCQN.
