About the Exhibit:
Threads of Connection explores the artisan-based practices of the Akwesasne Mohawk people, including basketmaking, ceramics, and fiber and visual arts (such as weaving and beaded regalia). Accompanying the artwork are histories and stories that underscore the cultural significance of these practices, the environmental threats the community faces, and the resilience and celebration expressed by the artists.
This exhibition aims to provide visitors with a deeper appreciation of the traditions and contemporary realities of the Akwesasne Mohawk people. Its tour across multiple venues encourages cross-community engagement, inviting distinct audiences to explore Akwesasne and vice versa—fostering greater historical awareness and social connection.
Admission: Free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated.
