Book
In-Between Textiles, 1400-1800
In-Between Textiles is a decentred study of how textiles shaped, disrupted, and transformed subjectivities in the age of the first globalisation. The volume presents a radically cross-disciplinary approach that brings together world-leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, conservators, curators, historians, scientists, and weavers to reflect on the power of textiles to reshape increasingly contested identities on a global scale between 1400 and 1800. Contributors posit the concept of 'in-between textiles', building upon Homi Bhabha's notion of in-betweenness as the actual material ground of the negotiation of cultural practices and meanings; a site identified as the battleground over strategies of selfhood and the production of identity signs troubled by colonialism and consumerism across the world. In-Between Textiles establishes cutting-edge conversations between textile studies, critical cultural theory, and material culture studies to examine how textiles created and challenged experiences of subjectivity, relatedness, and dis/location that transformed social fabrics around the globe.

Textile portraits
\"Anne Kelly's evocative and nostalgic work often incorporates portraits--of friends, family, historical figures, and even pets. Within these pages she shares her approach to textile portraiture, bringing in a wealth of different embroidery techniques, including hand and machine embroidery, quilting, and appliqué, to render in cloth the nuances of facial expressions and the personalities of her subjects\"--Publisher's description.
BOOK
The Virgen de Chiquinquirá and Muisca Religion
The paper proposes a new approach and a new analysis of the Virgen de Chiquinquirá, the most famous religious image in Colombia, produced around 1550 in the Eastern Cordillera within the context of the local indigenous Muisca religion. The analysis is primarily concerned with the materiality and with the formal and stylistic qualities of the image painted on a Muisca cloth (known as manta in Spanish). The image was compared with primary sources from the colonial period in order to highlight the importance of the muisca contribution to its production and to the subsequent devotion to it. Relying on the theories of perspectivism, we point out the agency of objects such as múcuras, tunjos and cloths in the creation of belief. Finally, we claim that the Virgen de Chiquinquirá was a Muisca votive object since its inception.
