The Language of Textiles: Mid-century Oaxacan Embroidery and Weaving

The Language of Textiles: Mid-century Oaxacan Embroidery and Weaving : October 11, 2024 – January 5, 2025

This exhibition celebrates the skill and artistry of weavers who contributed to the production of textiles in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico during the mid-twentieth century. Using backstrap looms, women weavers produced both simple and light-weight gauze-weave fabrics. The detailed woven and embroidered patterns on display are archives of collective memory and retain traces of their production, utilization, and preservation. The language of resilience spoken by these textiles connects communities in Oaxaca and beyond.
