Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California

Join us at the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive as we immerse ourselves in the captivating colors, textures, and histories stitched into African American quilts. Routed West is a "dazzling" new exhibition that traces the flow and flourishing of African-American quilt-making traditions that were brought to California during the Second Great Migration. The exhibition features works by nearly 90 quilt artists—predominantly Black women with ties to the Bay Area.

We will have a docent dedicated to our tour. Tickets will be roughly $20 including admission to the museum — exact price to be determined — and money will be collected at the entrance. Space is limited to 25 participants. For those who want to hang out afterwards, we plan to gather for a light lunch in the area and further discuss the exhibition.
