Dressing Up History
Dressing Up History
Among its varied galleries, The Autry Museum has a unique exhibit that explores the imaginative power of the Mexican and Mexican American dress style known as China Poblana.
La China Poblana, reflects the outfit’s origins in a combination of legends, Mexico’s Indigenous and colonial history of enslavement, revolutionary politics, and nation building.
Legends inspired by the 17th-century mystic Catarina de San Juan, and styles of dress worn by 18th-century indigenous and multiracial working women, coalesced during the Mexican Revolution into the figure of the China Poblana.
Today, the China Poblana dress lives on in dance and musical celebrations of Mexican culture and in dresses created by Indigenous women past and present.
