RIPPLES MAKE WAVES
Ripples Make Waves was created to honor those who came before us. This intimate exhibit invites you to explore the embedded stories within textiles and reflect on how your own journey weaves into a larger tapestry. Experience the power of the kusikus pattern of Northern Luzon in motion through a handwoven sail as well as learn about the significance of this pattern. Offerings of this evening include a weaving lounge, weaver panel discussion, and a community reading to close out the evening.
