You are cordially invited to the final event of our 2025-26 series. Documentary photographer David Burckhalter will share stunning images of Seri (Comcaac) baskets and the women who make them. His book, Baskets from the Seri Coast: Comcaac Weavers and Their Craft, traces the evolution of Seri basketry from a utilitarian craft to a celebrated art form. Burckhalter has spent five decades cultivating friendships and documenting Seri traditions, landscapes, and basketry in Sonora, Mexico. With detailed insights into the artistry, labor, and legends surrounding Seri baskets, Burckhalter’s images pay tribute to the resilience and creativity of Seri women, whose weaving continues to be passed on to future generations.
