Quilted Survivance: Susan Hudson and the Navajo Quilt Project
Quilted Survivance brings together the extraordinary artistry of Navajo story quilter Susan Hudson—a 2024 National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Fellow—and the multi-generational Navajo Quilt Project (NQP) in a groundbreaking exhibition at the Millicent Rogers Museum. Featuring Hudson’s powerful figural quilts that chronicle Navajo history alongside vibrant works by youth and elders of the NQP, this community-centered show celebrates both cultural endurance and creative resurgence. Through the language of quilting, Quilted Survivance honors the past, confronts historical truths, and affirms the living strength of Navajo culture today.
You have never seen quilts like this before! Navajo artist Susan Hudson, the first Indigenous story quilter in the United States and a 2024 National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Heritage fellow, is joined by her community members from the multi-generational Navajo Quilt Project (NQP) in this vibrant exhibition at the Millicent Rogers Museum. From Hudson’s figural appliqué quilts, which act as historical records, to colorful pattern quilts made by members of the NQP, multiple generations of Navajo artisans are included in this community-centered show.
