"Quiltmaking is a tradition and a mode of expression that is both intimate and esteemed. Every human being has an intimate relationship with cloth. It is the first thing we are swathed in at birth, and the last thing that touches our body upon our death. Through the nuance of textile, difficult stories can reach audiences across identities and generations from a place of care, hearth, peace, and nurture."
"Through the medium of large-scale quilts, Mazloomi recounts the valiant lives of Black civil-rights activists, leaders and revolutionaries, often overlooked or oversimplified in our nation's historical record, who played a seminal role in shaping American history in the twentieth century."
