The Textile Museum's Weaving an Empire: Textiles of the Inka World exhibition and More.
FAMA members meet in The Textile Museum lobby for a behind-the-scenes visit to their Cotsen Textile Traces Study Collection to see contemporary textile art inspired by ancient Latin American textiles. After a quick look at the Textiles 101 interactive gallery, we will take a guided tour of the current exhibition, "Weaving an Empire: Textiles of the Inka World," with Shelley Burian, the Lisa and Bernard Selz Curator, who oversees the Indigenous American textiles collection. Our visit ends in the Artisan's Gallery for some shopping and to learn about the curated selection of handmade textiles by artisans representing global traditions.
