The Center for Design and Material Culture at UW’s School of Human Ecology houses a vast trove of textile objects. These objects are often clothing but can include quilts, drapes, wall hangings … anything that can be made from spun cloth. The common feature among all the items in their collection is historic or artistic value and significance to scholars and students, what each item has to teach us about gender, culture and the human condition.
A cross section of the Center’s collection is on display now in an exhibit titled Afterlives: Material Stories from the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection.
Monday Buzz producer Nicholas Wootton paid a visit and spoke with exhibit curator Sarah Anne Carter. Carter is an Associate Professor of Design Studies and Executive Director of the Center for Design and Material Culture.
