Join us for our 11th Annual Juneteenth celebration, Threads of Freedom: Memory, Resistance, and Legacy.
As you visit the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, participate in a community arts workshop led by Form 2 Fashion to experience the ancient art of quilting, followed by a panel discussion to learn how this art form preserves sacred histories. All materials will be provided for you to contribute to a lasting quilt that will be on display in the Heritage Center following Juneteenth.
As we come together to celebrate and recognize the history of Juneteenth, we invite you to join a panel discussion featuring the following speakers:
- Phyllis Elmore, Author of Quilt of Souls
- Dr. Denise Evans-Sheppard, Executive Director of Oyster Bay Historical Society
- Janice Gilyard, Genealogist and Historian
- Keidra Daniels Navaroli, Independent Curator, specializing in textiles
“The conversation will be centered on textiles as a tangible cultural heritage asset that bridges the past and the present, and intersects with historical memory preservation and genealogical research, fostering healing for African Descent people navigating contemporary society. We celebrate this Juneteenth by honoring the interdisciplinary role of textiles as a form of resistance and reclamation, honoring the voices of formerly enslaved people and their descendants.” –Jasmine Harris, Manager of the Hannibal Square Heritage Center
