Commonly seen as privately owned vernacular objects, American quilts and coverlets reveal complex collective, often untold, narratives. Join the curator of the MFA’s upcoming exhibition, "Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories," for this workshop inviting educators teaching across disciplines to peek beneath the covers and examine quilts through the interpretive frames of gender, national identity, and cultural practice.

Jennifer Swope, David and Robert Logie Associate Curator of Textile and Fashion Arts
