Highlights from the Textile Society of America’s Symposium

A lively marketplace accompanied the symposium and featured new and old textiles, books and more! (Photograph by  Ann Svenson).

Organized by Chris Martens, the panel Central Asian Textiles: Politics and Process was particularly stimulating with papers by Elmira Gyul, Irina Bogoslovskaya, Stephanie Bunn, and David and Sue Richardson. The panel was well conceived and resulted in a standing-room-only crowd!
