THE ARTISTRY OF WEAVING SCULPTURE
Tribecan Gina Barac, who runs the Helecho Collective, will be hosting an exhibit of handwoven works by the Wounaan, an indigenous community from the Chocó region of Colombia on the country’s Pacific coast, December 12–23, from 11a to 7p at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, 87 Franklin. Shown only twice before in the United States, the sculptural vessels represent one of the most refined fiber art traditions in the Americas — and one of the most endangered. In conjunction with the exhibit, a holiday gift shop will feature some of the finest Colombian craftsmanship, and some proceeds will benefit the children of Bambi Homes Bogota. There will be a reception on December 16 at 6p.
