Artist LaShawnda Crowe Storm presents her contribution to "Past Is Present," an exhibition I curated at Herron Galleries. "redLines" is a 426-foot quilt that functioned as a table runner during "At the Crossroads: A Community Meal," a project conceived by artist Seitu Jones that explored food insecurity and food deserts in Indianapolis. The racial landscape of Indianapolis, like that of many American cities, is defined by redlining, the practice of real estate agents using financial mechanisms to steer black homebuyers away from predominantly white neighborhoods. The quilt is constructed from strips of fabric that include segments of an actual, red-lined map of Indianapolis. Storm uses the African American tradition of quilting to explore the impact of redlining and racial capitalism and how it has led to unequal access to nutritious foods in Indianapolis. #textilesocietyofamerica #pastispresent #quilting #quiltersofcolor #fiberart #textileart #textiles
