Get away for the week and travel virtually to the Southwest. On Friday, March 5, we kick off our “trip” with a visit to the Toh-Atin Gallery in Durango, where owner Jackson Clark II shares stories from a lifetime of working with Native American artists. Then on Monday, March 8, we travel south to Santa Fe to the studio of acclaimed fourth-generation Navajo (Diné) weaver D. Y. Begay, who shows us a piece she is creating for the MFA. On Friday, March 12, our last stop is with Liz Quinn MacMillan (current curator) and Jeanne Brako (former curator) at the Center of Southwest Studies, at Fort Lewis College in Durango, for a virtual back-of-house tour of the museum featuring Navajo and Hopi weavings from this extraordinary collection.
