“The women of Gee’s Bend – a small remote community in Alabama have created hundreds of quilt masterpieces dating from the early twentieth century to the present. Descendant from the slaves who first worked on the cotton plantations in the area, then for several generations as tenant farmers. They represent only a part of the rich body of African American quilts – composed in geometries that transform recycled work clothes and dresses, feed sacks and fabric remnants.”
