42nd annual Magic City Art Connection contemporary art festival April 25-27, 2025 at Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama.

Aiming to foster productive dialogue around race, justice, and community unity, this project will host six free, public sewing workshops in communities across Jefferson County, during which participants will create individual squares of what will become the Jefferson County Memorial Quilt. Participants will be provided with sewing kits and instruction from Bib & Tucker Sew-Op, while educational programming surrounding the nature and importance of this history and the project will be led by The Black Cherry Tree Project during a portion of each workshop. A community-based initiative, this project seeks to reckon with central Alabama's haunting history of racial violence and propel racial reconciliation through the co-construction of a Jefferson County Memorial Quilt, which will be created in honor of the 33 African-Americans who were lynched in Jefferson County from the mid-19th through the mid-20th century. Workshops are free to the public and registration information will be listed on a later date.
