Exhibition Tour: Social Fabrics
https://harvardartmuseums.org/calendar/exhibition-tour-social-fabrics
Join us for an in-depth tour of Social Fabrics: Inscribed Textiles from Medieval Egyptian Tombs, on view through May 8, 2022. The exploration of natural imagery creates a thread of continuity between Greco-Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic textile design in Egypt. This tour will consider how images of rabbits, birds, and coiling vines acted as symbols of abundance and prosperity throughout these periods of historical and religious change.
Led by:
Katherine Taronas, Visiting Professor of Art History, Kenyon College
