This program follows the turban as it moves from the Arabian Peninsula through the Ottoman Empire to Europe and the Americas. It addresses traditional and religious uses of the turban in the realms of international trade, Renaissance art, and contemporary fashions. Turbans, as this talk will show, have moved in and out of Western culture, at times archaic and forgotten, then noticed and reinstated as major accessories. Today Sikh men are recognized by their distinctive headwraps, and the turban remains an important part of Black culture. The turban, wrapped in many styles, has many adaptations worldwide.
