Founders of Migrant Quilt Project to speak March 26
The curator and founder of the Migrant Quilt Project will give a presentation at noon March 26 at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum.
The Migrant Quilt Project is a grassroots collaboration of artists, quiltmakers and activists raising awareness about the migrants who die each year along the Tucson Sector of Arizona.
A selection of the project’s quilts is now showing through June 27 in “Los Desconocidos/The Unknowns,” displayed in the museum’s Lois Gottsch Gallery.
During their presentation, Peggy Hazard and Jody Ipsen will share the story behind the project and offer additional context for their work. The lecture, which is complimentary with admission to the museum, is free for students, faculty members and staff.
In addition to the presentation, Hazard will lead tours of the exhibition at 11 a.m. March 27 and 28.
