Quilts with hidden details. A flag made from red and white shirts and blue bras. Plastic woven together. Those are just some of the pieces of art hanging on the walls of the Jewish Museum Milwaukee through the end of the year.
The exhibit, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse, opens to the public on Friday, September 8th.
"We are really celebrating fiber arts and its ability to communicate and address social justice issues," said Museum Curator Molly Dubin.
At the heart of the exhibit is the juxtaposition between soft materials, like cloth or thread, and the often challenging or hard message behind the art.
