Step into the world of "Water Carries the Stories of Our Stars," a solo exhibition by Tacoma- and Yucatan-based artist and storyteller Priscilla Dobler Dzul. Join Priscilla and her collaborators, community organizer Daniela Mussali and master weaver Doña Brigida Lopez, for a conversation moderated by exhibition curator Tamar Benzikry. Together, they will share personal stories and cultural histories that reveal how ecosystems, ancestral knowledge, and craft are deeply interconnected.
A highlight of the program is the history and practice of backstrap weaving—an ancestral technique practiced for millennia across the Americas—featured in a central installation of the exhibition. Following the conversation, experience this living tradition firsthand through a weaving demonstration. Using resourceful natural materials and methods, the artists will animate the intergenerational bonds and community practices at the heart of Dobler Dzul’s work, offering a rare opportunity to witness artistry and cultural legacy in action.
