The Textile Society of America invites you to join a live virtual roundtable that brings together curators, scholars, artists, and cultural practitioners from across Central New York for an engaging exploration of textiles, collections, and contemporary research.
During the online session, each presenter will give a brief presentation highlighting objects, collections, or site-specific practices from their institution. A moderated discussion led by TSA Board Member Alexa Griffith Winton will follow, inviting participants to reflect on how textiles mediate identity, the impact of materials and technologies on clothing and adornment, and the responsibilities of institutions in interpreting living cultural traditions.
The session will include time for questions from the audience and interaction with presenters. The session will be live-streamed, making it accessible to a global audience. Recordings of the program will be made available, and registered participants will receive a notification when the recordings are available.
