We commemorate the 50th Anniversary of The Dyer's Art by Jack Lenor Larsen and Alfred Bühler, Solyom and Solyom. Bühler was a former director of MKB. This book contributed to a more expansive and inclusive global understanding of textile craft, breaking ground for the decolonization and de-orientalization of textile material culture.
The symposium explores the evolution of dimensional transformation in art and design.
Topics include:
* Materials and Technology: From resist-dye traditions to 3D Designs
* Homage to anthropologists and ethnologists
* Honoring ancestral knowledge and history
