    Navajo Weaving: Art, History, Practice with Lynda Teller Pete, Barbara Teller Ornelas and Hadley Jensen, Part II (Dressed Classic)
    Aug 1 2025
    Fifth generation Diné (Navajo) weavers Lynda Teller Pete and Barbara Teller Ornelas have been instrumental in rewriting the history and narrative surrounding Navajo weaving, a realm that for too long has been dominated by non-Navajo voices. This is exemplified by their two groundbreaking books Spider Woman’s Children: Navajo Weavers Today and How to Weave a Navajo Rug and Other Lessons from Spider Woman, as well as their integral role in the creation of the exhibition Shaped by the Loom: Weaving Worlds in the American Southwest at the Bard Graduate Center, New York. Curator Hadley Jensen also joins us in this 2023 two-part episode from the Dressed archive. Want more Dressed: The History of Fashion?
