“Around the Body, Around the World” explores global garment traditions ranging from the ceremonial to the everyday. From shirts to skirts to sashes, and from elaborate beadwork to subtle dyes, textiles from private regional collections tell a story of wearable culture across centuries and continents.
The public is also invited to an opening reception on September 2nd and gallery talks on September 8th and September 17th.
In partnership with Ivy Tech Community College and the Center for Lifelong Learning.
Items generously on loan from the collections of Gail Hale, Suzanne Halvorson, William Itter, Barbara Livesey, Harold Mailand, George Malacinski and Sarah Noggle.
