The exhibition was funded in part by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Program. This four-month exhibition was Mingei International’s first collaboration with the San Diego Unified Port District.
This exhibition, seen by countless thousands of travelers, included exquisite beaded objects from eight diverse cultures – American Indian, China, India, Ladakh, Egypt, Indonesia, the Huichol Indians of Mexico and the Yoruba people of Nigeria.
