Centro Cultural de Guatemala

traditional Guatemalan celebration clothing

October 12-November 3, 2018
Reception: October 12 • 5–9pm

The Centro Cultural de Guatemala organization presents a collection of traditional Guatemalan celebration clothing. Designs across skirts, head-dresses, shirts, jackets, and more represent individual villages and feature bold colors, symbols, and patterns. This clothing—called traje—is an essential cultural practice, preserving Mayan history and Guatemalan identity.

This exhibition and receptions are part of the larger project, Latinx, celebrating Latin culture and art. Latinxincludes additional exhibitions and events at Art Works Downtown and various venues in the San Rafael Culture and Arts District. Learn more at artworksdowntown.org and artsanrafael.org.
