The Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College will host a free screening of the documentary “We are Learning from You," about contemporary Diné textile, fiber artist, sheepherder, and farmer, Kevin Aspaas.
The event takes place on Thursday, September 18th, starting at 5PM with light refreshments, followed by the screening at 6.

the film highlights Aspaas’ traditional practices and cultural artistry against the backdrop of ever-shifting environmental factors, such as water availability and running an agricultural enterprise.

Known for his work with the Navajo wedge weave technique, Aspaas practices a process he calls “sheep to loom,” which entails gathering and spinning wool from the small flock of Navajo-Churro sheep he raises in Shiprock, New Mexico. In addition to spinning his own yarn, Aspaas works exclusively with natural dyes.

The event will include remarks with the artist and filmmaker.

Support for this event is provided by Diné College's School of Arts & Sciences and the Mellon Foundation.

Questions about the film project can be directed to Kayla Jackson, Mellon Foundation Grant Coordinator at kcjackson@dinecollege.edu
