The theme for 2006 DDLM is “La Quinceanera: 15 anos de transforamacion.” DDLM is an event where networking connections for employment, educational opportunities and empowerment for Michigan Latinas are made. It has provided a much needed space for Latinas in Michigan to affect social change and to highlight their accomplishments in our community.

QUILTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS Main Floor Gallery "Quilts and Human Rights" is an exhibition exploring the role that quiltmakers have played in raising awareness of human rights issues around the world and the power of textiles to communicate important ideas and information. The exhibition will feature inspiring and often provocative quilts made to document and express transgressions of human rights, to educate others about human rights issues, and to pay tribute to leaders of human rights movements. A special component of the exhibition is being developed in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Museum in Mthatha, South Africa and will focus on human rights champions Rosa Parks and Nelson Mandela. "Quilts and Human Rights" and related programs are partially supported by funds from the MSU Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the Michigan Quilt Project Endowment. This exhibition is part of a special human rights theme for 2007-2008.
