Tucson’s Castaneda Museum cultivates appreciation and respect for the world’s peoples and cultures through the study and exhibition of hnic and folk costume. The collection includes over 4000 textiles, ethnic dolls, and related items.
St. MIchael's Guatemala Project is a 21-year informal partnership with rural Maya of the CPR-Sierra, who became refugees within their own country during Guatemala’s 36-year internal conflict. It focuses on health needs, arts and culture, and indigenous self-determination.
The Museum will have items on display from its global collection, and Guatemala Project will offer a new selection of Maya daily use textiles from the communities served for sale.
