    The Quilt at the End of the World

    Morning show
    9 AM
    Location
    Universalist Church, 48 Oak St, Camp Hill, AL 36850
    Directed by
    Amelia Ray

    The Quilt at the End of the World chronicles how a community of Black Southern women in rural Alabama transformed the domestic tradition of quilt-making into an instrument for liberation. An ethnographic tapestry, the film stitches together oral history with vernacular imagery to explore the relationship between joy and oppression.

    Quilt follows the story and stories of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, a region once defined by its plantations and isolation that bears the weight of American history unlike anywhere else. The generation profiled in Quilt shares stories spanning Jim Crow America, the Civil Rights Movement, and the sudden global interest in their lives and craft. The quilters’ resilience tells a story about carving out joy within oppressive power structures, and how that joy creates paths for liberation.

    Created with The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy and backed by groups including the Alabama State Council on the Arts, The Verdant Fund, and the Southern Documentary Fund.
