From the Loom of a Goddess celebrated the reverberations of Maya weaving in southern New England’s thriving Guatemalan-heritage community by showing a group of intricately woven textiles and garments made before 1917 and donated as a collection to the RISD Museum in 1982. Displayed alongside these historic pieces, new artwork by Providence native Sandra Lopez-Naz, a wall painting by Maya Ortiz, and videos commissioned from local artists Lucas Baisch and Michy Lopez show the continuing resonance of indigenous Maya culture in contemporary activism and artistic production.
