Rubia Quilt update.
The Rubia & WCA quilt project was presented as a
highlighted project at the June Rubia board meeting.
It was met with great excitement and interest. Two
board members are considering bringing the quilt to
their universities during the national tour, this
includes Southern New Hampshire University and
Dartmouth College. Once details are finalized we will
post this to the website.
The project has been an inspiration both in the US and
in Afghanistan. In a new project with Rubia in Kabul,
Afghanistan, one of Rubia's master embroiderers is
working with women in the only in-patient, female drug
rehabilitation center in Afghanistan. As part of their
treatment the women are learning embroidery and
creating artwork, that will hopefully display in the
USA. This project has been an inspiration to women
all over the world, including women artists who have
never been exhibited before.
The Santa Fe Folk Art Mueseum, has decided not to
display the Rubia quilt, as I learned this morning.
They believe it would be unfair to display the quilt,
since Rubia is also an exhibitor at the event.
So, the month of July is open, if we have any
interested venues!
I am currently writing a feature article for the next
Rubia newsletter about our national tour and inaugural
event in May. I will send an email when it is
published.
I have some difficulty expressing my gratitude to the
Philadelphia Women's Caucus for Art. Your generosity,
support, and time towards making this collaborative
project work is immeasurable. I sincerely thank you
for supporting this project and thank you for all of
your help in organizing, creating and exhibiting the
project.
Very best,
Molly Crowley
