Silver City Museum Presents a History of Mimbres Pottery
Saturday, July 23, 2022, 11:00am - 01:00pm |
Join the Silver City Museum on Saturday, July 23, as Danielle "Danni" Romero, director of the WNMU Museum, presents, “The Meaning of Things: Objects as an Expression of Culture and Self,” the history of Mimbres pottery and its cultural relevance in southwestern New Mexico.
Following Romero's comments, audience members will be invited to join in a community conversation about how objects are expressions of cultural identity. Participants are encouraged to bring items from home that have personal relevance, and share their stories.
This free, community conversation takes place from 11 am to 1 pm at the historic Silco Theater in downtown Silver City, and is co-sponsored by WILL, the Western Institute for Lifelong Learning. The event is also accessible via Zoom and Facebook live stream. For more information, please contact Cathleen Norman at (575) 597-0227 or education@silvercitymuseum.org.
Admission is free, though a suggested donation of $5 helps support the museum’s education programs, collections care and exhibits.
