 My name is Cecilia Vicuña. I have loved the Brooklyn Museum since I first came to New York in 1980. Its pre-Columbian collection is one of the treasures of the world. So I hope this installation of mine not only brings attention to the immensity of this textile tradition that people say is the most complex achievement in terms of textile anywhere in the world. And that has been really forgotten and overlooked. In most museums that do have a pre-Columbian collection, that room is usually empty. Most people ignore or have no idea of the richness of that universe. I hope my disappeared kippu shows people that there is a universe about to be discovered.
