Continued Artistry
AUGUST 1, 2023 – JUNE 1, 2024
Choctaw basket weaving is an important traditional artistry that has been practiced for centuries. They were first created primarily for utilitarian use and came in myriad shapes and sizes to serve different functions. While the production and common use has dwindled in the past century, native weavers continue the tradition, passing their skill to the next generation. Most contemporary Choctaw basket weavers are still based in Mississippi.
