Quilting Bee with Emily Johnson and Maggie Thompson

Venue

Designed by Makwa Studio textile artist Maggie Thompson (Fond du Lac Ojibwe), the quilts form a 4,000-square-foot installation that serves as a gathering place for audiences who attend Then a Cunning Voice and A Night We Spend Gazing at Stars—a 15-hour all-night performance gathering and feast created by choreographer Emily Johnson (Yup’ik).
