WILLOW WOMEN:
Embodied Threads: Weaving the Kumeyaay Legacy
Through the Documentary Film and weaving objects, embark on a sensory exploration that transcends time and space, weaving together stories of resilience, creativity, and community.
Let the voices of the land and the hands of the weavers guide you in a celebration of cultural continuity and shared reverence for the environment. As we gather in this space of creativity and reflection, we invite you to engage with the legacy of the Willow Women and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Kumeyaay community. Together, let us honor the past, celebrate the present, and weave a brighter future for the generations to come. Join us as we unite in the spirit of community, art, and nature - weaving a tapestry of collective understanding and appreciation for the profound legacy of the Kumeyaay people.
This project is created by Two Cardinal Points, an art collective by Ariel Vargassal @arielvargassal and Steven Mason @stevenmasonlife , a multifaceted art collective dedicated to crafting and showcasing unique, thought-provoking works of art.
It was Two Cardinal Points Art Collective’s mission to encapsulate this vibrant heritage using a diverse array of artistic expressions, bridging the past and present with a juxtaposition of traditional elements and contemporary materials. Through this harmonious fusion, they aim to transport the viewer into the captivating world of the Kumeyaay, offering a glimpse into their extraordinary culture. Within the enchanting exhibit of “Sawiles”, they invite the community to kindle the same sense of curiosity and wonder that ignited their spirits as they transported to the depths of the weaving tradition. Let the intricate visual metaphors created by the collaboration beckon you to unravel the stories woven within the fabric of this remarkable culture.
