Fellow textile people! Has anyone seen any fabric like this before? I’m thinking it’s furnishing fabric inspired by 18th-century Spitalfields silks, made in the late 19th or 20th centuries. I would appreciate any thoughts or leads. Thank you!
I've been awarded an Alborada Fund grant to work with Aba Eyifa-Dzidzienyo, University of Ghana. We are interested to meet curators and academics to discuss textiles and history, social justice, gender, environmental issues, diaspora, Ghanian artefacts& provenance PM to meet us.
Hello, I'm looking forward to this. I thought it was in person but I've just received a Zoom link. Looking at my emails, I think this is a fully online event? Can you confirm please? If there is an in person element, I can pop along.
I'm really looking forward to this talk on Monday.
If you’re in Cambridge on Monday, pop over to Gender Studies at 12.30 to hear my talk on jellyfish, gay dolphins and the oceanic turn in sexuality studies. 🐬🪼🐋 #UnNatural #queerecologies
