Today , weaver Rosalina Santiz Diaz from Chiapas, Mexico, will demonstrate traditional and contemporary Maya weaving and answer questions about the craft from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Museum of Anthropology. Maya women have been weaving since Pre-Columbian times, creating intricate symbols on clothing and other garments that express their ancient history and culture. Over the centuries, their traditional dress has evolved as a result of contact with other cultures. Yolanda Castro, coordinator of the civil rights organization K'inal Anzetik, will discuss the cooperative movement in Chiapas and the current political situation while Diaz weaves. The events are part of the 'Images of the Maya' exhibit on loan at the museum until June 9.
All events are free.
The event is co-sponsored by the philosophy department and the Science and Technology theme year. According to Peter Brubaker, program director of Wake Forest's cardiac rehabilitation program and associate professor of health and exercise science, eggs can fit into a healthy, well-balanced eating plan. An egg is one of nature's most nutritious creations. Brubaker added that moderation is the answer. The egg yolk contains all of the fat, and the whites are fat free.
