And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations features works by contemporary artists from the Women of Color Quilters Network. Curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, the exhibition narrates nearly four centuries of African American history from 1619 through today. Over 50 artists, including Carolyn Crump of Houston, and Barbara Ann McCraw of Denton, Texas are represented. The artists’ unique works draw on the enduring American tradition of visual storytelling through the textile art of quilting. The work below was created by Julius J. Bremer and is titled In Memory of Jessie.
Then next leg of the journey will be at 1800 Congress Ave. Austin, TX 78701. The Bullock Museum is hosting the exhibition in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth in 2015. The exhibition opens June 19 - August 30, 2015 and it's presented by the Women of Color Quilters Network in partnership with Cincinnati Museum Center and National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
