Tonight, 7–9 p.m. (Gallery talk at 8 p.m.)
Gallery 101, Lamar Dodd School of Art
Suzani means “needle” in Farsi and refers to embroidered work used as wall hangings, canopies or covers (photo below). Suzani are an important part of a bride’s dowry in Uzbekistan. Their design was often inspired by floral forms in urban gardens as well as spiritual symbols and motifs. The exhibition at Lamar Dodd will include selected embroideries from the Charlene Page Kaufman Memorial Textile Collection along with student work from the fabric design program inspired by Suzani. The exhibition will be on display through March 4.
Tomorrow, February 12, 5–7 p.m.
