IMAGE: Felecia Davis In order to demonstrate her research, Davis created a quilt to connect with residents of the Hill District in Pittsburgh. Each panel on the quilt reflects a different image of importance in the history of the Hill District, which is a grouping of historically African American neighborhoods in the city. When the copper fabric on the quilt is touched, sensors activate the narration of the panel story which plays through a small speaker that is incorporated at the bottom of the quilt. District residents will be able to add their own panels and stories to the quilt over time....
