Ep. 55 - Harriet Powers' "Pictorial Quilt" (1895-98)

Quilts, and textiles in general, have a funny way of being
overlooked by the fine art world. They’re dismissed as craft, as
outsider, as “women’s work,” or as potentially uninteresting museum
exhibits. But some quilts, and some quilters, tell their stories,
explain our histories, and simply refuse to be denied. This episode
was produced in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
The exhibition “Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories” is on
view until January 17, 2022. See the images: https://bit.ly/3jNT4FZ
