Textiles of Lombok: Revelations Over The Past 50 Years
The NSW Textile Study Group invites you to this lecture with Robyn Maxwell
Although centrally situated in the Indonesian archipelago, Lombok has attracted relatively little attention from textile scholars, the largely Muslim Sasaks being widely viewed as rather dull relations of their exuberant Hindu Balinese neighbours across the strait to the west. This richly illustrated lecture will hopefully dispel any notion of Sasak woven textiles as monotonous and inconsequential. And in doing so, provide some understanding of the roots of those Sasak textile traditions that survive in Lombok today.
NSW Ceramics Study Group
The TAASA Ceramics Study Group, Sydney offers members the opportunity for serious, in depth study of ceramics from all parts of Asia. The group aims to provide a convivial meeting point for collectors, curators and anyone interested in Asian ceramics and its place in the culture of Asia, as well as in contemporary ceramics that follow Asian ceramic traditions.
