SUMMARY:Stitching Our Stories Exhibition (Opening Celebration)
DESCRIPTION:Cassilhaus and the Resource Center for Women and Ministry in the South (RCWMS) are pleased to announce the opening of STITCHING OUR STORIES: Community\, Imagination\, and Spirit. \nThis exhibition will open on Thursday May 29th and feature works by three North Carolina artists: Kimberley Pierce Cartwright\, Jereann King Johnson and Sauda Zahra. All three of these self-taught fiber artists have been creating thought-provoking work for decades. Their abstract\, improvisational\, as well as representational quilts will be featured in the exhibition and will explore and inspire community\, imagination\, and spirit by stitching together their inner thoughts and experiences. \nTheir work is rooted in the tradition of African American quilting as a medium for storytelling\, resistance\, and cultural preservation. The exhibition challenges participants to reimagine the role of quilting beyond its historical context into a future where textiles become tools for warmth\, inspiration\, imagination\, transformation\, and ancestral connection. \nThe fabrics in these quilts\, much of which is recycled\, transform stories\, hardships\, and imaginations into inspiration for the future. The representational works elucidate and confront enslavement\, lynching\, civil rights\, social justice\, and showcase prominent figures such Fannie Lou Hammer\, Zora Neal Hurston\, and Bree Newsome. \nStitching Our Stories will be on view through August 31 during various events to be announced here on this page.  For more information contact frank@cassilhaus.com. People interested in receiving invitations to all Cassilhaus public events can sign up on the connect page on our site and those interested in news and events at RCWMS can sign up at their contact page. \nOpening Celebration Information: \nAll three artists will be in attendance. \nAttendance is by RSVP only and space is limited.\nAll transport to Cassilhaus will be by shuttle bus from a location TBA. \nDetails will be in your RSVP confirmation.\nVisitors with physical challenges can request on site parking in their RSVP email. \nSession 1 6:00-7:45 pm RSVP: StitchingOurStories1@cassilhaus.com\nSession 2 7:45-9:30 pm RSVP: StitchingOurStories2@cassilhaus.com \nGraphics courtesy of Dean Burnette at OLED Studio
