This mural has been named “Pieces of History”.
Artist statement: “The mural features a woman quilting the history of our nation from the south to north, and east and west. The fragments and piece create a communal quilt that bespeak of the fragments that formulate all humankind from the past to the present. The woman is carrying the weight of the issues of our nation in her hands that stem from North to South, East to West on the quilt. She is the mother that washed the clothes, that birthed the children, that cooked the food, that tended to the sick, and protected the family by any means necessary. The colors of the mural amplifying the beauty of a patchwork quilt, deftly stitched together by generational hands. The woman is strong and sturdy and she has seen a lot in her journey. She sews with the hope that we will remember and find a way together to mend the broken places and promote healing for a true communal body.”
The mural is brought to you by the Virginia African American Cultural Center, ViBe Creative, The City of Williamsburg’s Public Art Council, and Midtown Row.
