The Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers will be included in the new exhibition ‘Souls Grown Deep like the Rivers’ at the Royal Academy of Arts in March 2023.
Featuring works concerning the history of America, the exhibition will examine the inhuman practice of enslavement, the cruel segregationist policies of the Jim Crow era, and institutionalised racism.
