From Mitla to Sumatra

I have just returned from the exhibit From Mitla to Sumatra: The Art of the Woven Fret. It was a really impressive. The "fret", or "greca", is a ubiquitous design that appears in textiles around the world. It really brings to light a our connection to each other as human beings. This exhibition features clothing and rugs that incorporate the design of the fret. This is the only museum of its kind in Mexico. The building is extraordinary with its arched colonial doorways and windows, stone walls and floors, and with patches of original frescoes on the walls.
