The Spinning Yarns: stories of textiles from Cornell University Library's Rare and Distinctive Collections
From Rachel Singer
Uncover stories of textiles as told through Cornell’s Rare and Distinctive (RAD) Collections and its RAD curators! Curators will explore the history of textiles and fashion to weave together compelling themes and narratives across our collections. Presentations will reveal the universal nature of textiles and fashion - spanning cultures and history to tell the story of those who made them, used them, and collected them. Q&A discussion will follow the presentations.
