        American quilts have long been connected with notions of tradition, with patterns and techniques passed down for generations in communities throughout the country.
        As nostalgic symbols of the American past, quilts have been viewed as antidotes to upheaval during times of change. Disrupting our expectations of quilts as objects that provide warmth and comfort, “Radical Tradition: American Quilts and Social Change,” on exhibit through Feb. 14, 2021 at the Toledo Museum of Art, explores the complicated and often overlooked stories quilts tell about the American experience, offering new perspectives on themes including wartime support and protest, civil rights, gender equality, queer aesthetics, and relationships with land and the environment.
