Description
Description: Â Emily Trujillo will discuss her life journey from initial disinterest in Rio Grande Chimayo weaving as the daughter of a famous artist, to her love of music being a driving force to her inspiration in all her work. She will take you through what preserving a dying artform looks like in the modern age, and how her neurodivergence has helped her make a difference. VIDEO ONLY through October 16, 2025.
About the Speaker: Emily Trujillo is an eighth generation Rio Grande weaver from Chimayo, New Mexico, who specializes in the techniques and logic of Chimayo weaving. Her parents and mentors are award-winning weavers Irvin and Lisa Trujillo, who started teaching her when she was only five. While her technique and design training is very traditional, she blends her love for music, media, and her modern experiences into her one-of-a-kind pieces to express who she is. She currently teaches eight Chimayo weaving programs, lectures on history, and creates programs for the preservation of Chimayo weaving both in and out of New Mexico. All of her work is an effort to preserve her family’s dying 400-year-old family weaving tradition. VIDEO ONLY
