On a warm Saturday evening in Jackson, Mississippi, about 30 people gathered at the Mississippi Museum of Art for the inaugural meeting of the Jackson chapter of Black Girls in Art Spaces. The intergenerational group enjoyed a tour of the exhibition Of Salt and Spirit: Black Quilters in the American South, which featured more than 50 quilts, made by Black, southern women, led by the exhibit curator, Sharbreon Plummer.
“It was so timely that this show was up at the same time that they were planning this,” Plummer told the Guardian. “I thought there were so many ways that the show would resonate with people, in particular Black women, so it just felt like a beautiful way to bridge this inaugural moment with the histories and the legacies that were already here.”
