Quilt Footpath for the People being held up for a photo

Claudia Berger created a data quilt about the Appalachian Trail as part of their virtual Artist-In-Residency at the Scholars’ Lab in 2024-2025. (More pictures here.)

Claudia did a detailed write-up of their planning process for this quilt which uses a mix of Historical Data and Civic Data about thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Each quilt block represents a different type of data.
