TSA Announces “(re)Membering” at MOLAA
The Textile Society of America (TSA) announces its Spring 2026 Colloquium, “(re)Membering,” to be held on April 16, 2026, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM PDT, at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach, California. MOLAA is the nation’s leading museum dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art and culture. The Colloquium will be presented in a hybrid format and will include a keynote address, a plenary presentation, and a panel discussion featuring contemporary artists, curators, and educators.
This half-day convening continues TSA’s multi-year engagement with critical dialogue in textile studies, foregrounding the active, present-tense work of cultural memory. Building on “(re)Claiming Narratives” (2022) and “(re)Imagining Futures” (2023), the “(re)Membering” Colloquium poses the question: How are Latin stories and identities actively reassembled through material practice in the present moment?
