The Jewish Community Center of Houston Deutser Art Gallery presents the exhibition Deez Nights Be All Da Same to Me: Quilts by Leslie A. Golomb and Louise Silk. On view March 20 through April 30.

The historic fate of two separate groups of people, Jews and African-Americans, distanced by a span of three millennia, are linked together through the artistry of Leslie A. Golomb and Louise Silk. These two renowed artists have created a series of quilts depicting the linked story of a Jewish slave-owning family, Mr. and Mrs. Samuels Lyons Moss, and their runaway slave boy.

The inescapable parallel between the Jewish Exodus from Egypt, as related in the telling of Passover, and the flight to freedom experienced by the boy are visually linked with symbolic images and text, many based on the system of quilt patterns that were used as signals for slaves attempting to flee through the Underground Railroad.
