This spring, as part of an institutional collaboration with Denison University Museum, the Kawsay Ukhunchay Andean and Amazonian Indigenous Art and Cultural Artifacts Research Collection received a collection of Panamanian molas (handmade Guna garments traditionally made and worn by women) along with Guna nuchukana (carved wooden figures known to have healing powers). These items on loan from Denison Museum complement our semester-long theme on Storytelling Tapestries. Take advantage of this unique exhibition at Ohio State this spring and stop by Hagerty Hall 255. Visit our website for Andean and Amazonian Collections, or contact Professor Michelle Wibbelsman (wibbelsman.1@osu.edu) to schedule a tour as we continue to celebrate and contribute to Ohio State’s student research opportunities, public engagement, and diversity efforts! Read more here about the previous mentioned contribution opportunities.
