Since the days of the Spanish Conquest, the indigenous populations of Andean Bolivia have struggled to preserve their textile-based writings. This struggle continues today, both in schools and within the larger culture. The Metamorphosis of Heads explores the history and cultural significance of Andean textile writings - weavings and kipus (knotted cords) - and their extreme contrasts in form and production from European alphabet-based texts.
