They range from older women born in oases who never went to school, to middle aged women with limited education who use the internet and help women organize cooperatives to sell their products, to young teachers who are seamstresses in their spare time. Programs on textiles usually focus on the objects themselves: their beauty, the materials and techniques used, and their areas of origin. In this talk, anthropologist, and author of “Women Artisans of Morocco,” Susan Schaefer Davis, whose work focuses on Moroccan women, their textiles, changing gender roles, and adolescence, will include all of those aspects of textiles, but will also introduce you to the actual Moroccan women who make them. You will meet several of these women virtually, and to see and learn about the unique textiles they produce, the lives in which they produce them, and their thoughts about their work and goals.
