NOTE: THIS SCREENING HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER. WE WILL POST THE RESCHEDULED DATE SOON.

“The Quilt at the End of the World” chronicles how a community of Black Southern
women in rural Gee’s Bend transformed the domestic tradition of quilt-making into an instrument for liberation. An ethnographic tapestry, the film stitches together oral history with vernacular imagery to explore the relationship between joy and oppression.

The film follows the story and stories of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, a region once defined by its plantations and isolation that bears the weight of American history unlike anywhere else. The generation profiled in ‘Quilt’ shares stories spanning Jim Crow America, the Civil Rights Movement, and the sudden global interest in their lives and craft. The quilters’ resilience tells a story about carving out joy within oppressive power structures, and how that joy creates paths for liberation.

We’ll start gathering at 6, with the screening beginning around sunset at 6:30. The film lasts about 20 minutes. Share with a friend!
