Rewind Review Respond Vol. 11 | Fall 2025
Rewind Review Respond is an online forum where CCA students write about recent events and the ideas that affect their practice, communities, and fields of study. We invite you, the CCA community, to take time to rewind your week back to these events, take a deeper dive into ideas discussed, and respond to these reviews. RRR is organized by the Exhibitions Department, and edited by Isaiah Diaz-Mays and Jasmine Narkita Wiley, with original graphics by Mintie Jantarkolica. To join RRR's team of reporters, please send an email to rrr@cca.edu.

By Isaiah Diaz-Mays
"Providing feedback is a sacred practice that consists of cultural, mental and spiritual exchanges between devoted artists who are passionate about their craft."
Routed West: Quilts as Cultural Testimony
November 5, 2025
By Jasmine Narkita-Wiley
"Quilts tell the truth. They are weapons with undeniable power. They are at times tender, expressing pain and loss. They are also incendiary, serving as records of historic injustices that reverberate today. Quilts counter stereotypes and tropes. They challenge erasure and stand as evidence of self-determination, love, joy, and resistance."
