Power, Passion, and Politics
Nov 2-4, 2018
A Pop-Up Exhibit Guest Curated by Politics and Government Students at Lincoln Public School's Arts and Humanities Focus Program
Power, Passion, and Politics was curated by six high school students from Lincoln Public School’s Arts and Humanities Focus Program. Each member of the Politics and Government class, taught by John Clark, selected a politically- or socially-themed quilt from the permanent collection of the International Quilt Museum. Students were able to engage with the quilts in person before writing their labels. Each student composed text contextualizing and explaining the importance of the quilt they selected.
While only some of the students are able to vote, they each had something to say, much like the makers of their quilts.
The pop-up exhibition is on display in the Byron and Sara Rhodes Dillow Conservation Work Room November 2-4, 2018.
