Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California

Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA)

June 8, 2025 11:00 AM — November 30, 2025 7:00 PM

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.

BAMPFA is open Wednesday through Sunday. Learn more about the exhibition and related events, and plan your visit to BAMPFA.
