Mákkin Mak Wárep: Muwekma Ohlone Tapestries
About
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, the Castro Valley Library's Chabot Room will host a viewing of two tapestries created by artist Kalie Granier and descendants of the Muwekma Ohlone, Monica V. Arellano and Gloria E. Arellano-Gómez. This interdisciplinary art project reconnects the Muwekma Ohlone to the land of their ancestors, using pigments from lichens harvested on the Djerassi lands. Registration is not required for this drop-in viewing. Through the month of November, a lobby display will show materials and photographs documenting the creative process. Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests. An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) business days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or accessibility@aclibrary.org
