SF Chronicle review of the @bampfa.bsky.social Routed West quilt show in Berkeley. Prepare to be wonderstruck.

Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California @bampfa.bsky.social

Remarkable Double Wedding Ring Room c. 1970 created by Isadora Whitehead. She pieced the quilts during in between moments at her job as a bus driver. Friends donated fabric. She embroidered their names on the quilts. In Routed West at @bampfa.bsky.social

Well-known artist Chiura Obata urged turning to "Great Nature" to transcend differences and difficulty. Today, his legacy is shared in local classrooms and at historical societies, libraries, museums and at UC Berkeley, where Obata taught for 20 years. news.berkeley.edu/2025/06/11/l...

Compositional brilliance Im this quilt at @bampfa.bsky.social’s Routed West African American quilt exhibit. Pieced by Cora Lee Hall Brown, 1981. Quilted by Willia Ette Graham.

🎧 Listen to the podcast! @bampfa.bsky.social associate curator Elaine Yau and a contemporary quiltmaker in Oakland Ora Clay, spoke about the new quilt exhibit at the Berkeley Museum. 🔗: buff.ly/FTERJKV
