SUMMARY:Living Cloth: Textiles and Society in Indonesia at Yale University Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Yale University Art Gallery will present Living Cloth: Textiles and Society in Indonesia on Thursday\, September 25\, 2025\, from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. \nBarbara Watson Andaya\, Emeritus Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Hawai‘i\, will lead this lecture exploring how Indonesian textiles reflect artistry\, trade\, ritual\, and cultural exchange.
