About this Event
How scientifically accurate are the butterflies and moths depicted by the textiles on view in ? What do butterfly boxes tell us about the intersections of art, science, design, and decoration? What do insect collection managers and textile collection managers have in common?
Join us for a panel discussion with UW-Madison staff and faculty, who will discuss the intersections of textiles and insects in their collections management and art practices.
Jennifer Angus, Professor of Design Studies
