EXHIBITION | Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee’s Bend

American Museum and Gardens, Bath, UK, February 14 - June 21, 2026.

Kith & Kin: the Quilts of Gee’s Bend celebrates the extraordinary work of a group of African American women from a remote river island community in Alabama which embodies a 200-year tradition of making quilts that hold both profound artistic and political significance.  

Co-organised by the Irish Museum of Modern Art/IMMA, Dublin and Souls Grown Deep, USA (a non-profit organisation dedicated to the recognition and empowerment of Black artists from the American South) this is the only showing of the exhibition in the UK.
