The Textile Society of America (TSA), an organization that provides an unmatched international forum for the dissemination and exploration of textiles knowledge worldwide, will hold its symposium October 19-23 in Savannah, Ga.

 

The event is co-hosted by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), a recognized leader in art and design education. Savannah is an ideal place to explore the symposium’s theme – “Crosscurrents: Land, Labor and the Port” – by examining the interaction between local textiles practices and global markets.

 

To maximize scholarly interchange, the symposium will consist of multiple, concurrent sessions, plenary and keynote speakers, a poster session and curated exhibitions that will intersect with the scholarly program. In addition to the symposium sessions and exhibitions, there will be a series of dynamic pre- and post-conference workshops and study tours to local and regional art institutions and collections, receptions, special programs, and an awards ceremony.
