Art/Social Change Topic

For this assignment, searching for an artist to write about and research sounded very difficult for me. One assignment that really got my interest was “textile arts and social change”. I was hooked. After my interest in learning about the AIDS Memorial quilt it was clear that this is what I had to write about.

The glory of the story is that there is not just one artist. There are thousands. Another beauty of this movement is that the artwork itself is too big to be in one place. I am truly excited to dedicate myself to exploring more about the quilt and cannot wait to start writing about it!
