Current Exhibit - February 9th through June 15th "Common Threads" A Hopi Quilt Show ![]() The Smoki
Museum of
American Indian Art and Culture is proud to present “Common
Threads”, an
exhibition of Hopi quilts that reaches far beyond the Mesas. This exhibit will bring
together over fifteen
quilts, displaying the wonderful playfulness and diversity found within
the
Hopi quilting community. Somewhat
unknown outside of the villages, quilting has a rich history and allows
a less
restricted view into the Hopi family life.
These quilts range from very specific traditional
symbolism to imagery
as recognizable as animals and pop culture icons
