BLEED is a new site-specific commission by French and Canadian artist Kapwani Kiwanga . Installed in the Museum’s second-floor project gallery and on view from March 11, 2026, until April 1, 2027, BLEED draws inspiration from quilting traditions and the symbolism embedded in their intricate designs. Along the Underground Railroad, quilts hanging on clotheslines were believed to be stitched with codes that communicated critical information.
