The Textile Museum Fall Symposium:
From Village and Court to Global Commodity: Southeast Asian Textiles
October 12–13, 2013
Registration is underway for the 41st Annual Textile Museum Fall Symposium, From Village and Court to Global Commodity: Southeast Asian Textiles, with early-bird rates expiring on August 16.
The 41st annual Textile Museum Fall Symposium will explore themes raised in the concurrent exhibition Out of Southeast Asia: Art That Sustains. Today, there are over one-thousand ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, many with unique textile traditions—yet increased development and globalization in the region is currently challenging the future of these long-inherited art forms.
Through five dynamic presentations, a roundtable discussion, curator's tour, and the popular interactive “Show and Tell” session for collectors, From Village and Court to Global Commodity: Southeast Asian Textiles will shed light on the many ways regional textile arts are adapting to the twenty-first century.
To reserve your seat call (202) 667-0441, ext. 64, email
