Black Diaspora Quilt Stories
A series of zoom interviews conducted by Dr. Liv Furman for the Black Disapora Quilt History Project of the Quilt Index.
The Quilt Index Black Diaspora Quilt History Project is a National Endowment for the Humanities funded initiative. The Black Diaspora Quilt History Project is an intentional effort towards preserving and making accessible in the index primary and secondary sources on African American, African, and African diasporic quilt history drawn from geographically dispersed public and private collections. The BDQHP is a two year project running 2022-2024 and the scope of this project will entail the Quilt Index staff working with diverse group of stakeholders to create digital humanities resources on African African and African diasporic quilt history resources emerging from this project will make known and honor the cultural legacy of black quilters throughout the Diaspora. A big part of this is actually talking to black quilters, having conversations, so that we can share these recorded conversations with others so that people can actually see you and hear you know about you and what you do.
