Thursday, September 11, 5:00-8:00pm
Academic Program Chair Roy Hamilton has organized a special program to take place at the Fowler Museum highlighting aspects of the Museum’s textile collections. Curators from the Fowler and TSA scholars will give a series of special presentations. Topics include textiles from Indonesia (and specifically the Island of Timor); South African political embroideries and Ghanaian printed cloth; Maori cloaks; and Bolivian Aymara ceremonial garments.
The talks will be followed by a reception in the Fowler’s courtyard to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, Textiles of Timor: Island of the Woven Sea, curated by Roy Hamilton and Joanna Barrkman.
Two other textile exhibitions will also be on view: Yards of Style, African-Print Cloths of Ghana and Bearing Witness: Embroidery as History in Post-Apartheid South Africa.
Due to limited seating, we ask that all attendees sign up in advance for their Fowler session of choice when registering for the symposium. Tickets will be provided with your registration badge. There is no additional cost to attend these sessions.
