Hi everybody, I want to invite you to this online event that @fowlermuseum is organizing and is so kind to share "Feather Embellishments in Mexican Huipiles with Elena Phipps, scholar of textile traditions of the Americas and Hector Meneses Lozano, director of the Museo Textil de Oaxaca. Date: Nov 1oth at 12pm -1 pm MST This is an online event, then you can attend anywhere in the world 🌎 😉. The program will briefly trace the history of the huipil and highlight some of its special features. Meneses Lozano will share some examples from the extensive collection of the Museo Textil de Oaxaca, alongside a few special pieces from the Fowler Museum. The discussion will then focus on a unique group of huipiles woven with spun downy bird feathers.
