The Art of Resilience Project

Through life-size portraits, artisan interviews, cinematic glimpses of local traditions, and 3D samples of artisan pieces, visitors will be transported to the highlands of Guatemala, the Thai-Burma border, and the Kalahari Desert in Namibia.

This immersive experience celebrates the artistry, culture, and unwavering spirit of Maya, Karen, Karenni, and San women.
