“And Still We Rise: Race, Culture and Visual Conversations” at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in downtown Austin, Texas, 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.
