I thought this was interesting. Anyone up for joining the TSA and submitting a lace presentation?
Quote from the TSA website: http://textilesociety.org/symposia_2006.htm Speakers must be paid TSA members for 2006. Non-members will be invoiced upon acceptance of their proposals. "Textile Narratives and Conversations Textile Society of America Symposium 2006 October 11-14, 2006 Toronto, Ontario Call for Papers Deadline: December 1, 2005 The Tenth Biennial Symposium of the Textile Society of America will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The theme, Textile Narratives and Conversations, will serve as a springboard for discussions across disciplines, as well as for in-depth explorations of specific topics. TSA encourages presentations on textiles from all parts of the globe and from textile-related disciplines including (but not limited to): anthropology, archaeology, art, art history, conservation, cultural geography, design, marketing, economics, history, indigenous tradition, linguistics, theatre, and the physical and social sciences. Scholars, artists, gallery and museum professionals, educators, and lovers of textiles are encouraged to submit proposals. We are particularly interested in presentations exploring textiles as story-telling media, as mythological objects, as "woven"archetypes, and as evidence of a life lived, showing the interconnectedness of and between culture(s) or intergenerational bonds. Textiles might be a means of communicating cultural values, serve as a medium for social cohesion, or operate in linkage with science and technology, architecture and design, or music and the performing arts."
