Stitched Stories: Narrative Quilts and Textiles
June 10 – November 21, 2026
at RAM’s Wustum Museum
Stitched Stories: Narrative Quilts and Textiles brings together quilted, woven, and embroidered works from RAM’s collection that tell stories through fabric and thread. Whether incorporating representational imagery or utilizing abstraction, these small- and large-scale fiber works explore the multitude of ways in which textiles can be used to convey meaning. Drawing from both personal memory and imagined worlds, the artists represented in Stitched Stories demonstrate the versatility of fiber as a medium for storytelling as they transport viewers to faraway lands—from the bottom of the ocean to outer space. Significantly, several artists with Wisconsin ties are represented, underscoring the rich history of textile production in the state.
Artists in the Exhibition
Renie Breskin Adams, Sally Broadwell, Embega, Ann Fahl, The Reverend Howard Finster, Teri Greeves, Cindy Hickok, Rosita Johanson, Glen Kaufman, Ai Kijima, Anne Kingsbury, Manyama (Kaross Workers), MP Marion, Nellie Matleibula, Ellen Moon, Charlene Nemec-Kessel, Laura Foster Nicholson
