Huichol Artist Demonstrations Saturday July 2nd through Sunday July 17th from 11 am-4 pm in the MIAC Gift Shop and Lobby in honor of our exhibit "Huichol Art and Culture: Balancing the World". Renowned yarn painting artists Mariano Valadez Navarro and Cilau Valadez will be giving artist demonstrations. For the Huichols, the art of yarn painting is more than mere aesthetic expression. The topics and contents of these paintings reflect the Huichol culture and its shamanic tradition. Like icons, they are objects of religious worship and documents of their ancient wisdom. Mariano Valadez Navarro not only identifies as a Huichol yarn painter, but also as a storyteller who is translating his culture’s rich traditions and beliefs into an art form that he hopes anyone can connect to and appreciate. The Trunk show will benefit the The Huichol Center for Cultural Survival in Mexico and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation.
