As one of the oldest art forms, weaving has a place in many cultures.

The skill is not only a practical one but also one of creative expression, tradition and activism, all of which the Sun Valley Museum of Art is exploring in their latest exhibition, "Intertwined: Weaving in the Community."

Tanya Aguiñiga, one of the featured artists in the exhibit, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
