- **Event Name**: Artist Talk - Silent Thunder “Echos of Greatness” with Dr Eugene Poole
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Born in Kentucky, and carried by deeply rich ancestral bloodlines from Kinston, North Carolina, Dr. Eugene Poole is redefining contemporary textile art with astonishing precision and purpose. In just four years, his command of fabric and thread has propelled him into the forefront of fine art quilting, where craft is transformed into monument. Poole’s quilts are fearless and deeply personal—works that function as mirrors, reflecting the complexities of identity, history, and the world we inhabit. Through vibrant color, commanding scale, and meticulous execution, his art interrogates social, political, economic, and spiritual realities, confronting issues of justice, equality, violence, incarceration, mental health, and the enduring stigmas faced by underserved communities. His works are radiant visual testimonies that demand reflection and response.

His upcoming exhibition, “Silent Thunder: Echoes of Greatness” marks both a homecoming and a culmination. Drawing from a lineage of master tailoring and aesthetic refinement, Poole elevates fabric and thread into narrative vessels that honor the African American diaspora, its resilience, triumphs, and unfinished struggles. His life-sized quilted portraits and tapestries read like topographical maps from a distance, then reveal dense stitchwork, layered textures, and astonishing detail up close. In these works, early disciplines of draftsmanship and architectural thinking converge with ancestral memory and contemporary urgency. The result is an exhibition that collapses boundaries between craft and fine art, past and present, beauty, and truth; inviting viewers to stand before the work, move closer, and witness the power of quilting – reimagined.
