I just received this announcement and thought that other members of
h-costume who live in the Washington D.C. area might be
interested. It's on the wrong coast for me. :'(

Special Festival at The Textile Museum Next Week!
Woven Dreams: Textiles and Music from Malaysian Borneo
Wednesday, July 25
Join us on Wednesday, July 25 for a daylong celebration of Malaysian culture.
Free, drop-in daytime events:
From 11 am to 1:30 pm and again from 3:30 to 5 pm, watch Iban
master weaver Nancy Ngali create a pua kumba cloth on a floor loom.
This traditional ceremonial cloth is known as a "woven dream"
because it is believed that the weaving goddess Kumang gives the
design and pattern to the weaver through dreams. From 12 to 4 pm,
visitors can create a palm frond grasshopper with artist Michael Lim.
Evening lecture and performance (advance registration required):
At 6:30 pm, scholar and author Edric Ong will speak on the topic:
"Sustaining the Arts and Crafts of Traditional Cultures in the
Modern World." A performance of traditional Bornean music and dance
follows the talk.
Fee for the evening lecture and performance: $5/members;
$8/non-members. Advance registration is required. Call (202)
