Other forms of thought on the inclusion of Quilts within a construction of Archives, the extension of construction archives, enforced silences within archival collections include work by Aleia Brown, Dorthy Berry, Elaine Hedges, Grannie Chaney, Julietta Singh and Simon Fowler, in addition to discussion of the creation, operation, and use of the archive in 'Gaps and Silences: In and Out of the Archives' taught by Marianna Hovhannisyan at Brown University, Spring 2023.
This collection and archive is far from complete the use of a quilt as an archive has been appertaining unintentionally and direct intention for years. Any material missing, manifestations of comunity and political archiving practices within quilting that appear to missing, please contact jasper_clayton@brown.edu, as I wish thatches international expansion of an arrival definition continues to grow.
