Curator Talk: Weaving Identities: Maya Huipiles from Guatemala
Join us for a conversation about Guatemala’s rich indigenous Maya culture. We’ll explore traje, the elaborate traditional dress of the Maya, which remains the primary visual expression of Maya identity today and plays a crucial role in the long-standing patterns of community life. Whether worn for religious ceremonies, showcased as an emblem of ethnic pride, or sold in tourist markets, traje maintains a vital link with the ancestral past. It’s also a symbol of change and medium for innovation and self-expression within Maya communities, as we’ll see in examples from the Textile Museum of Canada.
