La China Poblana: Women’s Stories Stitched, Worn & Remembered in the Borderlands
The American West Center is proud to co-sponsor this curated exhibit by Professor Romeo Garcia. Explore the rich and layered history of La China Poblana through dress, performance, memory, and community storytelling. This exhibition brings together historic China Poblana ensembles, recorded cultural performances, and stories rooted in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands—examining how clothing can become an archive of identity, tradition, migration, and belonging. Throughout the exhibition, visitors will also be invited to take part in workshops and community conversations that help build a growing, living archive of dresses, stories, and memories.
Free and open to the public. Exhibit open from September 1 - December 31, 2026.
Presented by the Center for Community & Cultural Engagement, Latine Heritage Month, Center for Latin American Studies, the Department of Writing & Rhetoric Studies. Special thanks to Sierra Mendez.
