Quilter Kyra Hicks will give a talk, “Amazing African American Quilt History as Prelude.” Included in the talk will be a slide show presentation of photos of quilts. A self-taught, crafter who uses cotton to explore political, religious, family and romantic themes, Hicks’s original story quilts are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City and the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY.
