Tarde En El Museo brings Mexico’s textile traditions to life through an afternoon of art, music and hands-on making in Hintze Hall. Inspired by the Weaving Memory: Mexican Textile Art exhibition’s photographs, objects and film, this program brings together music, making and community. Featuring performances by Victor Valdes and an interactive weaving activity with Mariana de la Rosa, visitors can also create a woven bookmark to take home.
Explore the colours, materials and techniques that have shaped Mexican craft for generations, and share in a program that honours knowledge passed through hands, looms and dye. Presented in collaboration with the Mexican Embassy, this is a chance to connect with Mexican culture through creativity, conversation and hands-on experience.
