Through textile and experimental weaving techniques, Jenelle Esparza communicates powerful messages by isolating cotton fiber as a symbol of labor, land, and legacy. Esparza discusses her work and research on South Texas histories in a conversation with René Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs. A brief weaving lesson with Rene completes the experience.
