    The Poetics of Textiles with Tim McLaughlin

    Like all great arts, textiles recreate our visiton of the world. We hold them up as exemplars of skill, ingenuity, creativity, and ambition. Textiles are poetic metaphors woven from ideas just as much as they are physical items woven from fibres.

    The Art of Ajrakh

    Traditional ajrakh block printing is one of the most iconic crafts to survive into the twenty-first century. But ajrahk, as practiced by the Khatris of the Kachchh Desert, has done much more than just survive; it has flourished and expanded to become a craft with a keen sense of tradition and a vision for how this tradition can be taken into the future by a new generation of ajrakh artisans.

    The Art of Story Painting with Susan Shie

    For over thirty years Susan Shie has been producing art on cloth that mixes the personal and the political. Her distinct method of working combines narrative, drawing, and writing into large-format, highly graphic art quilts. Her imagery combines the immediacy of street-art with the depth of personal journal keeping. In this lecture Susan will talk about how her work has developed over her lifetime. Beginning with narrative interests in art-making from childhood, she incorporated new techniques during college and grad school and has refined her approach throughout her professional art career. Her processes have shifted as she added sewing to her painting as a feminist choice. In the end, her life’s work is a body of stories of the life around her—an ongoing series of illustrations of how art and life can be one.
