"Pueblo Fashion Forward" with Shirley Pino (Tamaya/Santa Ana Pueblo)
Seamstress, fashion designer, and potter, Shirley Pino, explores the relationships between contemporary Native fashion, tradition, and ingenuity.
Over the past two years, SAR has been working with the Pueblo Fiber Arts Guild and the Poeh Cultural Center to help organize and support the annual Pueblo Fiber Arts Show. The show, which is in its 13th year, is a celebration of Pueblo fiber arts including, but not limited to, weaving, embroidery, sewing, and basketry.
In anticipation of this year’s show, the 2024 Native Arts Speaker Series is dedicated to facilitating the exploration of Pueblo fiber arts in the Southwest. Pueblo fiber artists from across mediums discuss the past, present, and future of fiber arts, revitalization efforts, and the ways in which these rich traditions continue to be passed down from generation to generation.
