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.


I'm really looking forward to this talk on Monday.

Pamela Whitaker visited Murray Edwards College again this week and today she facilitated a restoring art therapy workshop for our students. Tomorrow we will discuss pedagogies that involve working with textiles and hope to build this into a co-written paper.

CPJ found that protection mechanisms for journalists fell short in 2022. In Mexico and Colombia, four journalists who were enrolled in—or in the process of joining—their governments’ protection mechanism were killed. Read more: cpj.org/reports/2023/0…
