This is the last weekend to see the quilt exhibit And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, Visual Conversations, which has taken up residence at the Mariposa Museum in Oak Bluffs since earlier this summer.

The exhibit includes quilts by various artists that together illustrate 400 years of African American history. Using feathers, printed images, stamping, shells, leather, beading, metal chains and other materials the tales told in these quilts are not cozy by any means. Consider the quilt called Trayvon Could Be My Son, which includes a photographic portrait of a baby wearing a hoodie sweatshirt, holding package of candy and a can of iced tea in his arms, the same items 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is said to have carried on the night he was killed by a member of the neighborhood watch in a suburban neighborhood of Sanford, Fla., in 2012.

In other quilts Cynthia Lockhart honors Levi Coffin, the president of the Underground Railroad, and Dindga McCannon celebrates the first all-female, all-African American flight crew in 2009 with a quilt called, Why Did It Take So Long?

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a depiction of a slave voyage in 1619 and its human cargo in a quilt titled 20 and Odd by textile artist Carolyn Crump. In the piece 20 quilted bodies are woven into the horizontal fabric planks of the ship. A 21st person jumps to his death in the water.

“It defies everything that someone would think about a quilt,” said the show’s curator Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi of 20 and Odd, during an interview earlier this summer. “The construction materials on the quilt are not just fabric. There’s paint, there’s wood, there’s plastic, there are found objects.”

And Still We Rise runs through Monday, Oct. 14 and the gallery is open each day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Mariposa Museum is located at 57 Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs.
