Quilting is a medium for exploring political power at Saint Joseph's Arts Society's new exhibition.
Briefly

If the country were a true democracy, one stitch would equal one vote. Instead, gerrymandering...has warped the seams.
The quilt metaphor is a potent one...equates the humanity of a hand-stitched quilt with an unmarked ballot.
Inspired by renowned San Francisco art director Rich Silverstein, the exhibition's title...refers to how gerrymandering functions, packing people together to consolidate power.
The show brings together more than 40 works of textile art...Each piece is a unique response to the current political climate.
