Webinar "Threads and Themes of The Stories We Wear", Saturday, September 25, 10 am Pacific Time / 1 pm Eastern Time Textile Museum Associates of Southern California Tma/sc Free Registration: https://tinyurl.com/StoriesRgRbt Showcasing 2,500 years of style and adornment through approximately 250 remarkable objects, the new exhibition, “The Stories We Wear” at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology reveals how clothing and accessories offer powerful expressions of identity—examining the purpose and meaning behind what we wear. In concert with the theme of the exhibition, this program will use the diverse textile and clothing collections at the Museum to explore how what we wear tells a story about ourselves: our class, gender, religion, social roles, and status. Approaching the collections from an archaeological perspective, Dr. Anne Tiballi, Andean Archaeologist and consultant for the exhibition, will dig deep into several of the exhibitions ‘outfits’, making connections between the technological skill, creativity, and cultural significance of the peoples who made and wore them. Among the items she will discuss include a Pre-Columbian Andean warp-patterned tunic, headband, and bag; a Qing Dynasty Chinese court costume; and Early 20th century coconut fiber armor from Kiribati, a Mongolian silk deel and boots, and a Hopi wedding dress.
