Webinar: Saturday, April 23: "Adat Textiles of Early Indonesian Cultures" with Thomas Murray, Independent Researcher, Collector, Author, Lecturer and Private Dealer, San Francisco Bay Area, sponsored by Textile Museum Associates of Southern California. Two (2) Zooms of the same program: one for the Western Hemisphere, Europe/Africa, Middle East and South Asia, and one for Far East and South East Asia and Down Under, on Saturday, April 23. Indonesian textiles are known to convey messages across time and space by means of an archetypal iconography that includes human figures, trees, boats, reptiles, birds and geometric patterns. These encoded images follow ancestral traditions and customary laws known as adat; cloth becomes sacred through a combination of fine spinning, dying, and weaving that creates a sense of aesthetic wonder. And although we cannot hope to be able to decipher those archetypes in terms of the mindset of the weaver's community, anthropologist Alfred Gell gives voice to and validates our own experience that such cloths convey messages of wonder and enchantment to us when viewed here in the West... powerful, visually compelling and meaningful... just not the same meaning as a textile's original context. This lecture by collector and author Thomas Murray will follow the themes presented in his newly published book, Textiles of Indonesia, and will focus on some of the finest cloths to come out of the archipelago.
