Edna Andrade’s Eight Studies Based on Navajo Designs represents the artist’s interest in the geometric compositions of Diné (Navajo) weavers. Whether knowingly or not, Andrade was inspired by symbols, colors, and forms that reflect Diné cosmology, philosophy, and histories. This talk will focus on the creative transformations of Diné weavers across generations whose efforts embody Diné resilience and futurity.
Meet Me at the Museums is a series of talks given by our campus partners, lenders, and students about their perspective on works in the collection. The series widens the circle of our offerings, allowing for a richer diversity of viewpoints, surprising interdisciplinary connections and research, and unique perspectives about our collections and exhibitions.
Led by:
Stephanie Mach, Curator of North American Ethnographic Collections, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University
