The Experimental Weaving Talk Series returns for 2026. Our first talk of the year takes place Wednesday, February 4 at 9 am MST, featuring Venancio Francis Aragón, Navajo Weaving and Textile Design Instructor at Diné College.
Aragón is a citizen of the Navajo Nation with Hispanic heritage from Northern New Mexico. His work centers on the intersections of Navajo textile traditions and settler colonialism, with a strong commitment to documenting and teaching rare and endangered Navajo weaving techniques. He is currently completing his master’s degree in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado.
This year’s series is supported by the de Castro Research and Creative Work Award from College of Media, Communication and Information ( @cubouldercmci ) and focuses on Experimental Weaving in the Southwest and Plains Region.
