On Sept. 9, join IQM Collections Manager Jamie Swartz for an in-depth look at "Material Nation: 250 Years of American Quiltmaking." Swartz will discuss the "American Identities" gallery on display in the IQM's West Gallery.
“American Identities” focuses on American quiltmaking as a vehicle for expressing identity and social transformation since the mid-twentieth century. These textiles document pivotal historical moments while preserving cultural traditions shaped by migration and resettlement.
Textile Talks features weekly presentations and panel discussions from the International Quilt Museum, Quilt Alliance, Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), and Surface Design Association. The programs are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.
