Weaving Culture: Textiles and Jewelry in Morocco presented nearly 50 works, including elaborate examples of rug weaving of the Atlas mountains, delicate embroidery, radiant gold brocades of wealthy urban centers, and beautifully crafted gold and silver jewelry. This exhibition was part of a university-wide project, “Exploring Muslim Cultures,” which included a series of exhibits, special events, lectures, and spring quarter courses.
This exhibition was supported by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Commission.
