In May of 2009, the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History will open a new exhibition entitled Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes. Presented in three iterations of 20-30 Navajo textiles each, the exhibit will showcase the breadth and depth of the Museum's Joe Ben Wheat Southwestern Textile Collection, considered to be one of the world's best collections of Navajo textiles.
A full slate of public and school programming will accompany the exhibit, including a grand opening event; hands-on workshops for adults, parents and children; guided tours; movie showings featuring movies with Navajo directors, producers, and actors; and programs and demonstrations on natural dyes and textile conservation. Judy M. Newland, Faculty Associate and Exhibit Developer at the Arizona State University Museum of Anthropology is the Guest Curator for the exhibition.
