Tujia Brocade · Xilankapu

Beyond the sandstone peaks, another world of pattern. Xilankapu offers a colourful introduction to Tujia textile traditions.

Repeated motifs emerge through the careful work of weaving. Exploring a piece of Tujia brocade draws attention to the relationship between colour, pattern and the decisions made at the loom.
