We Gather at the Edge: Black Women and Contemporary Quilts is an exhibition that celebrates Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi's collection acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2024. The exhibition is organized around themes that reveal why Black women gather. The quilts, diverse in style and technique, share histories of consciousness, personal memories, and calls to action.
Art quilt and fiber art collectors Carolyn Mazloomi, Nysha Nelson, and Rebecca Stevens take part in a panel discussion about their unique textile collections and the many facets of being a custodian of these works.
