Kawandi Adventure: Quilts by Margaret Fabrizio

March 7, 2015 - July 5, 2015

Here's what the museum says about the exhibit:

Inspired by a 2011 exhibition of kawandi at the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, Fabrizio was compelled to learn more about the Siddi women of Karnataka, India, who had created the dazzlingly colorful quilts (kawandi). In 2012, the artist spent two weeks in India, learning from the Siddi women their kawandi style of hand sewing quilts. After returning to her home to San Francisco, Fabrizio created twenty kawandi style quilts from scraps and recycled clothing she collected in India. She then returned to Karnataka, taking some of her work to show the women at their monthly meeting. They were impressed and delighted. Many of the kawandi on display were created especially for this exhibition.

Now for Margaret's other claim to fame. She is a well known harpsichord player.
