Tejido Social / Social Fabric: Exposition on the Mexican Rebozo

February 14, 2016 @ 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free

The project Social Fabric (Tejido Social) presents a small exposition about the Mexican rebozo: an emblematic piece that incorporates technique, culture, time, and ancestral knowledge that stay interlocked like a code within woven fibers. Those that make rebozos not only are determined to maintain the technique, but also confront competition against neo-liberal markets, a government that does not support artistic activity and creation, and violence that impacts Mexico today.

The exposition will have a presentation of different techniques and styles of Mexican rebozos to teach us how to identify its origin and discontinue economic spending on cheap global knock-offs from industrial manufactures.

Entrance is free. Join the event page here!
