Gee’s Bend refers to a small, historically Black community in Alabama known for its extraordinary quilt-making tradition. The quilts of Gee’s Bend are characterized by bold geometry, improvisational composition, and deep rooted storytelling. 

Created by generations of African American women—often from repurposed fabric and clothing—these quilts transcend their utilitarian origins to become powerful expressions of resilience, creativity, and cultural identity.
