Design Gallery at UW-Madison
If you haven't already seen it, don't miss the enthralling exhibit — Laura Anderson Barbata: Transcommunality — at the Ruth Davis Design Gallery on the UW Madison campus through Friday, November 21. The gallery is located in Nancy Nicholas Hall, in the School of Human Ecology. It's a fiber fantasy filled with rich colors, textures, costumes in wildly varying scales and motifs, along with a number of fascinating videos.
November 20, 5 pm - Mexican Textiles Up Close in Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection with Carolyn Kallenborn: Associate Professor, Design Studies, UW-Madison. Her film, "Woven Lives," examines the role of art and design in cultural sustainability.
