The Intersection between Texts and Textiles

The Library of Congress is an ideal location to analyze the overlap between textiles and texts.

Join us for a fascinating talk and Q&A session about the intersection between texts and textiles by Sylvia Houghteling, Associate Professor of the History of Art at Bryn Mawr College.

This event includes an LC-onsite display of cloth manuscript wraps and covers from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, embroidered cloth story maps by Hmong women, fabric swatch books from Japan, and manuscripts depicting the labor of textile production.
