Preview Day: Routed West

For BAMPFA members and UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff.

BAMPFA members and UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff are invited to enjoy early access to the exhibition Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California. Not yet a member? Join today starting at just $40/year for early access to exhibitions and more great perks.

Routed West traces the flow and flourishing of quilts in the context of the Second Great Migration. These quilts explore the medium’s unique capacity for connecting kin across time and space, holding memory and ancestral knowledge, and opening up space for beauty and ingenuity.
