We welcome the public to join us in celebrating the begining of the Coming Home Project which aims to provide access and study to historic cultural collections of Tewa people. For over a century many cultural items have been collected and dispersed away from their communities – the Poeh Cultural Center works to regather these items and bring them home through exhibitions and long-term relationships. The “Coming Home Project” exhibition will display the history of Tewa Pueblo arts collecting, where they have gone and how it has evolved.
