Hopi Kachina Dolls: Blessings for a Balanced World
The first exhibition to examine the Hopi kachina doll tradition from the perspective of the women and girls who receive them, presented at the Center for Feminist Art.
Więcej: Nowy Jork
A Hopi girl's first kachina doll is flat. It arrives at her baby-naming ceremony, where female relatives give her a name and a quilt and the Katsina spirits give her that doll and a wicker plaque. You start the show at that ceremony, and the dolls get more elaborate as she grows up.
Fifty-three tithu, carved from cottonwood and painted, are among more than 120 works from the 19th century to now. They represent Katsinam, spirits who bring rain to the Hopi in arid northeastern Arizona, and they are given mainly to girls and women. Sections follow the corn-grinding ceremony, marriage and the summer Butterfly Dance. The last holds thirty pots, baskets and pieces of jewelry by Hopi women, and a video of six artists.
It fills the Center for Feminist Art on the 4th floor and is included in general admission: pay what you can at the desk (suggested $20, free for 19 and under). The audio guide is on Bloomberg Connects. It runs through June 27, 2027.
