🌈 The quilts of Gee’s Bend 🌈

The women of Gee’s Bend are devoted to the artistic preservation of traditional African-American visual culture and spirituality via the artistry of quilt-making.

The quiltmakers of Gee’s Bend, a small, remote, Black community in Alabama, have created hundreds of masterpieces- dating from the early twentieth century and continuing into the present. Few other ‘collectives’ can boast the extent of Gee’s Bend’s artistic achievements, much of which have resulted from their geographical isolation as well as the unusual degree of cultural continuity that exists within their community.

For the most part, the Gee’s Bend Quilters remained overlooked until the 2002-2003 exhibition “The Quilts of Gee’s Bend.” First shown at the @mfahouston, the exhibition traveled to @whitneymuseum before touring widely across the United States.

This tour de force was so impactful that it prompted the US Postal Service to issue ten commemorative stamps—its first reproduction of works by living artists in its history.

Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, Lorraine O’Grady’s firs

Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, Lorraine O’Grady’s first public performance, remains the artist’s best known work. The persona, French for “Miss Black Bourgeoise,” first appeared in 1980 under the Futurist dictum that art has the power to change the world and was in part created as a critique of the racial apartheid still prevailing in the mainstream art world.

“MBN was a critical piece, located at the nexus of race, class, and gender. In 1980, when I created it, there were no role models in white feminist art for a tri-partite critique, or at least none that I was aware of. That era’s feminism seemed concerned exclusively with gender. Second-wave feminism was basically a white bourgeois construction that seemed to operate as though unconscious either that it was white or that it was middle-class. It was a time when white feminists could still believe that their definitions of sexual liberation and professional advancement applied identically to all women… and that they could speak for all women. In that era, even though black feminists may have admired the energy, even the delirium, of white feminist rhetoric, not to mention the bravery of many of its actions, they still felt alienated by and even a bit derisive toward it.” - Lorraine O’Grady, Mlle Bourgeoise Noire and Feminism, 2007

Introducing our newest member artist: Sophia Dawso

Introducing our newest member artist: Sophia Dawson (@iamwetpaint). Dawson is a Brooklyn-based visual artist whose work exposes stories and experiences of individuals striving to overcome the injustices they face. In her own words: "My art is a tool to bring people from different ethnicities, social statuses, beliefs and backgrounds together to educate them and develop a dialogue on who the individuals in my portraits are, their significance and why their struggle is relevant today. They have been intentionally excluded from mainstream American History. Their stories must not be forgotten."

Dawson was recently chosen by New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs as one of the artists to create the newly minted “Black Lives Matter” on the streets of Foley Square. Dawson took on the word LIVES: the “L” with faces of mothers who have lost their children to police killings, the "I" filled with imagery inspired by Emory Douglas, the “V” highlighting the culture of the African diaspora, the “E” with the faces of Black Panther Party members who are currently in prison, and the “S” carrying a passage from the Bible.
