Inspired by the varied stitching techniques featured in "Fashioning An Icon: Virgin of Guadalupe Imagery in Textile Design", join us for our monthly stitching self guided workshop held at the George Nakashima table in Mingei's Founders Gallery. June’s project will be Tenango-inspired embroidery. Similar to Hñähñu (also known as Otomi), Tenago stitching is visible in a few textiles depicting The Virgin of Guadalupe on view in the gallery. This stitch is also known as “Pata de Gallo” or “Pata de Cabra” and could be described as a modified backstitch. Each month, engage in a unique, self-guided project centered around the textiles shown in "Fashioning an Icon." All skill levels are welcome. Mingei International Museum on Facebook / Instagram

Kumeyaay historian Ethan Banegas Luiseño-Kumeyaay (SDSU-American Indian Studies) discusses the process to develop a community-engaged comic that speaks from the perspective of the Kumeyaay people. This comic is a way to tell stories of Kumeyaay people from past to present and engage with their own communities, schools, and beyond. Hear more about how tribal historians are driving the work of this visual storytelling project as a creative team brings it to life. About Ethan Ethan grew up on the Barona Reservation in San Diego County. He received his Bachelor of Arts in History, Religious Studies, and Political Science in 2009 and his Master of Arts degree in History in 2017 from the University of San Diego (USD). Banegas is owner of Kumeyaay.com and Historian for the San Diego History Center, which operates the Junípero Serra Museum. He was first published in 2017 (Indian Gaming in the Kumeyaay Nation). In 2020, he published the Kumeyaay Oral History Project, a community-based research project, after collecting thirty-three personal interviews, video-taped oral histories, and photographs from San Diego’s First People. In 2024, he published two comics—“Beyond Gaming” and “Our Past, Present, and Future”—and served as project director and author of the Kumeyaay Visual Storytelling Project.
