Description

Please note: For this event, a staff member may need to reach out for more information before you are confirmed to attend. Watch for an email!

Join NEXT Village to visit the Asian Art Museum for the exhibit Weaving Stories, featuring textiles from across Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. We'll discover the stories behind the fabrics and you'll learn about one of the oldest and most intimate forms of art. From birth to death, we are swaddled, wrapped, or shrouded in cloth. Textiles not only protect and adorn our homes, our sacred spaces, and our bodies but also communicate identity, status, and faith.

This exhibition brings together nearly 45 outstanding examples of textiles from dozens of communities to explore how fabrics were woven into the daily lives of the peoples of Southeast Asia.

NEXT Village members have priority for the limited free tickets available. Staff members will let you know if you have a confirmed spot or if you are on our waitlist.

Note:

This event is in conjunction with Asian Art Museum Access Days, which offers an enhanced museum experience for adults with disabilities, including extra seating inside the special exhibition galleries and portable large-print editions of artwork labels.
Face masks are required in the Museum
