Jennifer Bowker presents: Egypt, from the Tentmakers' Khan to the City of the Dead

Jennifer will take us on a journey through some of the lesser known textile traditions of Egypt, including patchwork projects with the wives and daughters of the garbage collectors of the huge city of Cairo, the magical tapestries of the Wissa Wassef Project, those men who dye silken thread in the old buildings in the Khan, the weavers in the City of the Dead who spin the same silk for decoration on traditional clothing, the women embroiderers of Akmeem, and the Tentmakers of Old Cairo and their beautiful appliqué.
