Boro: The Hidden and the Visible in Japanese Mended Textiles with Dr. Yoshiko Wada
DaveAnother FOMO #parkrun at Albert this week, as I focus on getting my knee back in good working order.
Was going to volunteer, but tomorrow is the #Boro half marathon, so all of our local parkruns were chokka with volunteers from early in the week. So I just walked it and enjoyed munching on a couple of tiny oranges.
Really confused some marshals with my civilian garb (and tiny oranges), and finished with a respectable 44m03s.
Next Textile talks (free, zoom, tomorrow, February 25, 2:00-3:00 PM EST [UTC -5])
Boro: The Hidden and the Visible in Japanese Mended Textiles, International Quilt Museum
"Boro" is a Japanese term associated with the cycle of use and reuse — of wearing something out and mending it, over and over. IQM's Marin Hanson talks with boro expert Dr. Yoshiko Wada; they will look at and discuss the IQM’s current exhibition."
