Dig into history with us as we explore one of the largest and most formidable ancient textiles ever discovered: the Prisoner Textile. In conjunction with the DMA's exhibition Creatures and Captives: Painted Textiles of the Ancient Andes, three scholars will come together to present exciting new research on this 700-year-old Chimú artwork. The exhibition celebrates collaboration between conservators and curators at the DMA and Houston’s Menil Collection, two museums that steward fragments of the originally 75-foot-long painting from the coast of Peru. The exhibition wraps on February 22, so join us as we send it off in style! This talk features Dr. Michelle Rich, The Ellen and Harry S. Parker III Associate Curator of Indigenous American Art at the DMA; Dr. Cory Rogge, Director of Conservation at the Menil Collection; and Kari Dodson, Objects Conservator at the Menil Collection.
A pre-lecture musical performance of traditional Peruvian music by Peruvian-American guitarist Pepe Valdez will take place on Level 3 in the textile gallery from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m..
