Reality of Ethnic Textiles & Art Quilt Come find out the answers to these intriguing questions at the open lecture Sunday evening at 7:30 in the Oval Room of the University Plaza Conference Center. Dr. Hazel Lutz of the University of Minnesota explores the reality of 'ethnic' textiles and apparel in the real world and how that influences art quilts. The reality of 'ethnic' textiles and apparel in the real world has been quite different from the ways that we have been taught to think about them. Dr. Lutz will tell the story of how such textiles that continue to express ethnicity are really the product of 'global factories', ones with some very interesting wrinkles in production technologies changing from one area of the globe to another. This presentation will help art quilters think more globally about the art work they are making. Dr. Hazel Lutz, on the Faculty of the University of Minnesota, earned her BA in Indian Civilization & Language Studies, then continued her graduate degree work in Anthropology (MA) and Textiles & Apparel (PhD) with a continuing focus on South Asia. She lived in India 5 years, and did her doctoral research there. As part of that research she looked at many related textiles produced for a variety of areas of West Africa, but have also reached the UK, Europe, the US. Article Written By: Hazel Lutz | |
