The word "uhuru" means "freedom" in Swahili. The Uhuru Quilters Guild's mission is to seek to promote the work and accomplishments of African American quilters, while also preserving the tradition, culture and history of quilting. This rich legacy is shared to others through workshops and exhibits across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region.
Freedom runs from February 6, 2023 through April 22, 2023 with an opening reception on Saturday, February 18, from 5 - 8 pm and an Artist and Curator Talk on Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 2-4 pm.
