Denim Wear Inspired by African American Quiltmakers, Walk for Sustainability - Gee's Bend | ARTiSTORY

From the early twentieth century to the present day, their quilts are absolute masterpieces, continually inspiring today's fashion with their approach to recycling fabrics that turn into marvelous artworks, advocating for sustainability and grassroots innovation.

Despite the heavy weight of history, their work showcases the rich creativity of a community. Their preservation of culture and the use of local materials remind us that even without migrating to the urban North, their art and voices transcend geographic boundaries, resonating worldwide. As the title suggests, "We Will Walk". A tradition of artistic resistance and enduring legacy.

Gee's Bend, African American Quiltmakers Walk for Sustainability

The Gee's Bend collective hails from Alabama, a group of resourceful African American women quilters who create stunning artworks from salvaged fabric scraps and remnants during a period of cloth scarcity. Their dynamic patterns and vibrant colors reflect resilience and an optimistic spirit despite challenging conditions.
