Yuyanapaq: To Remember

Living Through Violence

Exhibition on Display February 12 - March 21

Opening Reception Sunday, February 12, 2-4pm

This Peruvian textile family comes from Ayachuco, the birthplace of the Shining Path, a Maoist guerrilla organization. During the most dangerous period, Saturnino gathered his family of textile workers and they taught themselves to make the pre-Columbian textiles of Paracas, the place where the textile arts reached heights unattained anywhere or during any time period. The textiles are accompanied by photographs that present a compelling look at political violence in Peru between 1980 and 2000.
