The Toque - Sylvain Rivard

Whether made of dog or musk ox hair, alpaca or sheep wool, the toque is worn almost everywhere. It is distinguished from one nation to another by its colors, the shape of its pompom, its patterns which sometimes resemble animals. The toque is a winter essential: it warms you up and protects you from snow and cold. In addition to being practical, the toque is found in fun expressions and has fueled the folkloric imagination for generations. Rivard, with La tuque/The Toque/Pipun-akunishkueun, once again invites us to a most colorful textile exploration!
