There is a new exhibit at the Heritage Center at the Red Cloud Indian School in South Dakota, tracing the evolution of Lakota quilting. The gallery walls are now covered with quilts featuring traditional sunburst designs of the Lakota that are often presented as ceremonial gifts, as well as quilts made by contemporary artists featuring a more modern interpretation of Lakota designs. As a collection, they tell the story of a Native American art form that continues to evolve.
The Heritage Center’s gallery walls are now covered with vibrant, intricate quilts. Some feature the traditional sunburst design of the Lakota quilts that are often presented as ceremonial gifts to honor or remember loved ones. Others, made by contemporary artists, present a more modern interpretation of textile tradition. Together as a collection, says curator Ashley Pourier, they tell the story of a Native art form that has continued to evolve through history. - See more at: http://www.redcloudschool.org/news/20160204/new-exhibit-looks-at-the-evolution-of-lakota-quilting#sthash.CbdIyZet.dpuf
