Mr. Lee Talbot, is the Textile Museum’s Assistant Curator of Eastern Hemisphere Collections. Lee will speak on “The Language of East Asian Textiles”. He will present outstanding examples from the Textile Museum’s collection of Chinese and Korean silks, focusing on the symbolic meanings embedded in the designs. This talk promises to increase our appreciation not only of the beautiful textiles themselves, but of the cultures and people that created them.
