Quilting Water: Voicing Our Stories

A celebration of Quilting Water on 11-17-2024 at Rutgers-Camden

Quilting Water is a global public arts project that explores our connection to water through quilt-making and oral histories. Centering voices from racialized communities in the U.S. and around the world, the project collects stories about water at the intersections of art, race, and ecology.

In Camden, NJ, local Black artists and others created quilts inspired by the Quilting Water archive, guiding the project with their vision and craft.

On Friday, November 17, the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice at Rutgers–Camden hosted a special celebration of Quilting Water.
