Five international textile artists come together for two weeks in the heart of Southern Appalachian mountains at the John C. Campbell Folk School. Kianga Jinaki, Chris Dufour, Chinelo Njaka, and Jesalyn Keziah share powerful insights as we sit around the sewing circle in the quilting studio.

In this collective conversation, we discuss:

① what magic our quilts can perform

② how quilts tell stories when words fall short

③ the power of collective effort
