During Women's Month, our Arts Facet co-sponsored “The Art of African American Quilting: Black Women Piecing Together Our Past While Keeping Ourselves in Stitches” quilt exhibit at Vanderbilt's Bishop Johnson Black Cultural Center. As the only African American quilting guild in our area, we were pleased that these Zuri Quilting Guild master quilters were available to us share in the rich artistic enterprise that is Nashville’s Zuri quilters by partnering with us as well in our service work with 8th graders at the KIPP Academy of Nashville. Throughout the month of January 2016, these women introduced girls who had never touched sewing machines and, perhaps, unstitched fabric, stitch their way through hours and evenings of sharing, collaboration and creativity in what was a cherished time of cultural memory and intergenerational bonding. This quilt is their work of art that we held together by the masterful quilting of the Zuri Quilters. This intergenational art project, mentoring and exhibit will forever be memoralized in the installation of this banner that shows that we are linked in friendship and service with the youth in our community.
