Shaped by the Loom: Weaving Worlds in the American Southwest
Online Digital Publication
Shaped by the Loom: Weaving Worlds in the American Southwest invites you to explore the world of Navajo weaving, highlighting Diné history, culture, and cosmology, as well as the localized and land-based knowledge systems that guide the process behind the finished product. Bringing together Diné weavers and visual artists with historical items from the American Museum of Natural History, New York, this publication presents weaving as an art form, a cultural practice, and a lived experience. Learn more about these items through the artist interviews, essays, object studies, and interactive multimedia experiences.
The exhibition Shaped by the Loom: Weaving Worlds in the American Southwest was on view at Bard Graduate Center Gallery from February 17 – July 9, 2023.
