Join Dr. Natasha Reichle, Associate Curator of Southeast Asian Art at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, for a lecture that will draw on the DMA’s rich collection of objects of dress and adornment. This talk focuses on how archival photography helps us understand the iconography, trade, and (sometimes surprising) uses of Indonesian textiles in the early 1900s. How can we critically assess the information colonial photographs provide? What can photography tell us about the movement of textiles across the archipelago and beyond?
