\nKINGSTON, R.I –April 25, 2003– The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Historic Textile Gallery will open a new exhibit, “Exotica into Americana,” Monday, April 28, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. with a special program in Independence Hall auditorium. <\/p>\n

\tThe gallery is located in the Quinn Hall lobby and will be open with the new exhibit for about the next three months, Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 4 p.m. following the opening. 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design Department in the College of Human Science and Services presents the exhibit. <\/p>\n

\tAdmission to the exhibit-opening program in Independence Hall and to the gallery is free. <\/p>\n

\tMonday night\u2019s program features a performance by the belly dancing troupe Shekhinah, and the International Caf\u00e9 will serve refreshments. Troupe co-founders Dina Johnson of Westerly and Sally Tschantz-Dwyer, costume shop manager at 溏心vlog免费B站, will speak about belly dancing and the costumes created for the art. <\/p>\n

\tThe exhibit\u2019s curators are Susan Hannel and Abby Lillethun, professors in the textiles program. The exhibit was put together by students from textiles Professor Margaret Ordonez\u2019s classes. <\/p>\n

\t“Our costume collection has many items that relate to or are from other cultures,” Lillethun said. “We focus on the exotic as items coming from far-away places that are transformed into the mainstream of American culture. One example is the bandanna. It\u2019s associated with the cowboys of the late 19th century, but it actually entered our use as a trade item from India in the colonial period. First it was a luxury item, and now it\u2019s an egalitarian symbol. We\u2019re also showcasing many tourist items.”\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
