Rubia Exhibit at Mariposa Museum

Rubia's Whole Cloth refugees exhibit is currently on display at the Mariposa Museum in Peterborough New Hampshire. Created with support from New Hampshire Humanities Council, it explores why Rwandan, Burundian and Congolese refugees now living in Manchester left their homelands and what they’ve found in NH. The museum is also featuring Rubia's exquisite bogolan and indigo  textiles in their  gift shop. Malian women and youth belonging to Tanti Bogolan Women's Association and Ndomo Workshop made the scarfs and  wall hangings for sale using ancient textile dyeing techniques. The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Rubia's bogolan textiles  from Mali are on display in the window of  the Mariposa Museum.
