Woven to Wear: Navajo and Hopi Textiles from The Durango Collection®

September 17, 2009 - January 22, 2010 at the Avenir Museum of Design & Merchandising

Thursday, September 17, 2009

Representing more than 800 years of weaving in the Southwest, The Durango Collection® forms the cornerstone of the Center of Southwest Studies, chronicling the remarkable achievements of Pueblo and Diné weavers. This exhibition, which featured a selection from the collection, paid homage to the creativity and skill of Navajo and Hopi weavers.

Hopi mantas paralleled the introduction of cotton to the Southwest, while Navajo textiles reflected the Diné concept of harmony.
