Loved writing for Selvedge Magazine reviewing ‘Mediterranean Embroideries’ at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge featuring interviews with curator Dr Deniz Turker and Dr Elizabeth Key Fowden. Learn more about the authorship and significance of a stunning Ottoman sampler that is at the heart of the show, revealed for the first time by Turker. Plus gain insights into the extraordinary world of Mediterranean textiles created largely by women in this beautiful show full of mythical creatures, bold colour and natural motifs.
Also wonderful to explore the legacy of Andreas Peris Papageorgiou through accompanying film to the show, ‘Runningthreads, dancing bodies: The life and collection of Andreas Peris Papageorgiou’.
Check here for more information and to see the film.
