Join us for a free in-person small group tour exploring the current exhibition Katazome Today: Migrations of a Japanese Art led by Curator of Art and CE Fellow Amy Chaloupka.The exhibition presents contemporary works that employ a unique and historically significant Japanese textile-dyeing process. Traditionally used for kimono dyeing, katazome involves the application of complex designs with the use of hand-carved stencil papers to dye fabric. In this exhibition seven national and international artists share fresh perspectives on katazome, relating their work to themes of personal identity, shifting environments, and the globalization impacting their home countries.
