Woven Identities
The Women Behind the Molas
Thu, 14 November, 2024
5:30pm - 7:00pm
This event has reached max capacity. For questions, please email [email protected].
Though Guna molas are recognized worldwide for their bright colors and complex embroidery, little is known about the Guna women who make molas. Join us for a discussion on how Guna epistemology shapes the self-identity of these women and is expressed through their material art. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Tahina Montoya (Elliott) and feature the three extraordinary Guna women. After the event, enjoy a photography and mola exhibit, along with Panamanian food!
