“Across Boundaries, Across Barriers” – Featured Art, Part 2 of 5: Over the next two months in a five-part series, we will be featuring historic and contemporary works of art from several Native American communities featured in the “Across Boundaries, Across Barriers” exhibit at Fruitlands Museum @fruitlandsmuseum in Harvard. Known as a Tvoishuk in the Choctaw language, this basket features the traditional diamond and + shapes in its overall design and construction. The art and skill of weaving traditional baskets is passed generationally, surviving through the expertise of grandmothers, mothers, and aunties among the Choctaw nation. Today, both women and men practice this art and ensure its survival for generations to come. See this basket—and many others—at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard included in the "Roots and Reflection" (North) section of the new exhibit "Across Boundaries, Across Barriers." 📷: Artist once known, Chahta (Choctaw). Tvpishuk, 1920-1950. River cane and bloodroot dye. Collection of Fruitlands Museum, The Trustees.
