Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee’s Bend
Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin
28 February – 2 November 2025
‘Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee’s Bend’ marks the first showcase of the Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers in Ireland, a group of African American women from a small Alabama community with a 200 year tradition of quilt making, co-organised with Souls Grown Deep. Their quilts are both artistically and politically significant, rising to prominence during the Civil Rights Movement as symbols of Black empowerment and cultural pride. These works are deeply rooted in family, heritage and the history of their community.
