Join curator Dr. Sarah Anne Carter for a tour of <a href="https://cdmc.wisc.edu/event/afterlives/" title="https://cdmc.wisc.edu/event/afterlives/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Afterlives: Material Stories from the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection</a>. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and explore the materials and methods in the exhibit. This is the last week of the exhibition so come visit before it closes! Afterlives explores the many lives of objects and what happens to textiles after they enter the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection. From a child’s feed sack dress lovingly crafted and then saved on a family farm to an intricate robe from Turkmenistan that traveled halfway around the world, material things carry traces of people and things through the past, present, and future in our Collection. Both poetic and practical, the exhibition explores what these treasures can teach us if we pay attention to their stories.
