Description:

Explore the History of Rebozos, which looks like a cross between a scarf and a shawl; an important item for women in Mexico and worldwide, making a distinct cultural statement. The presentation will include an exhibit of rare and beautiful rebozos, a fashion show, and how to wear this multiuse garment in many ways. We will sing and recite, and audience members can model some rebozos. The audience will have a hands-on demonstration and visuals of weaving the rebozo.
