🔆 Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California traces the flow and flourishing of quilts in the context of the Second Great Migration from 1940 to 1970. As millions of African Americans sought greater economic opportunities and freedom outside of the American South, hundreds of thousands initially arrived in the Golden State. Many migrants carried quilts as functional objects and physical reminders of the homes they left behind. They also brought their quiltmaking skills, extending the art form’s Southern roots to the western United States in the later part of the 20th century.

Featuring over 100 quilts by approximately 80 individuals―the majority of whom are women and have ties to the San Francisco Bay Area―the Routed West exhibition honors the resilience, self-determination, collective care and creative ingenuity of this distinctive migrant generation.
