@brooklynmuseum: For Hopi girls, kachina dolls carry a lifetime of meaning. Known as tithu, these treasured gifts represent Kastinam, ancestral spirits who bring moisture and maintain balance for the Hopi people. From infancy to adulthood, tithu mark important stages in a Hopi woman’s life, reflecting her evolving relationship with the Katsinam. Hear from guest curator Colleen Lucero, Managing Director of the Hopivewat Learning Center, about the role of tithu in Hopi girls’ lives and the stories of the women who receive them. Plan your visit to “Hopi Kachina Dolls: Blessings for a Balanced World,” on view now. #BrooklynMuseum #Hopi #KachinaDolls #BkMArtsoftheAmericas #NationalNativeAmericanHeritageMonth
