Think modern quilting is a 21st-century invention? Think again!

Modern Before Modern takes you on a captivating journey through quilts from the early 1800s to 1980 that showcase bold graphics, striking minimalism, and unexpected artistry—long before the modern quilting movement was named.

This engaging presentation highlights how today’s “modern” aesthetic is deeply rooted in quilting’s past. You’ll never look at historic quilts the same way again!

The lecture will be held in English on the first day, and simultaneously translated into French on the second.
