Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the Spanish-language edition of The Unbroken Thread.
Housed in the former sixteenth-century convent of Santo Domingo
Church-now the Regional Museum of Oaxaca, Mexico-is an important collection of textiles representing the area's indigenous cultures. The collection includes a wealth of exquisitely made traditional weavings, many that are now considered rare. The Unbroken Thread: Conserving the Textile Traditions of Oaxaca details a joint project of the Getty Conservation Institute and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) of Mexico to conserve the collection and to document current use of textile traditions in daily life and ceremony.
The book contains 145 color photographs of the valuable textiles in the collection, as well as images of local weavers and project participants at work.
Subjects include anthropological research, ancient and present-day weaving techniques, analyses of natural dyestuffs, and discussions of the ethical and practical considerations involved in working in Latin America to conserve the materials and practices of living cultures.
