💠 What does it mean to make a collective artwork in a community of individuals? Consider this question through “Wish Quilt,” an interactive project that honors the global history of quilt making. 🎨 When you visit the Museum, you can create your own square—perhaps taking inspiration from traditional quilting patterns, geometric designs found in MoMA’s collection, or your own aspirations—which will be added to the communal artwork on our walls. ⭐ The project is an opportunity to find connections between this installation’s growing collection of squares and the patchwork quilts made for centuries by quilt makers both in the United States and around the world. The installation will be on display in our second-floor atrium through August 2nd! To discover more examples of early American art-making, visit the exhibition “American Folk Art: Revisiting the Collection of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller” on Floor 3.
