Auspicious Dreams
The Charles B. Wang Center presents a new art installation: Auspicious Dreams: Tribal Blankets from Southern China
On View through May 31, 2022
The exhibit celebrates precious, rarely seen Chinese textiles, specifically blankets made by South and Southwest Chinese tribes. Often made with fine materials, exemplary techniques, and unparalleled artistry, these striking textiles convey the unique identities, statuses, and traditions of diverse Chinese tribal groups.
Curated by Vichai and Lee Chinalai of Chinalai Tribal Antiques and Jinyoung Jin, director of cultural programs at the Charles B. Wang Center, the treasures in this exhibition take visitors on a remarkable journey across regions and time.
Blankets are on display throughout the Skylight and Zodiac galleries.
