Textiles: Pattern, Ornament, And Culture Exhibition

Silver Center for the Arts

Opening reception: October 7, 4–6 p.m.

Panel discussion: Weaving, Industry, Art, and Design, November 2, 4–5 p.m.  D&M building Room 314

This exhibition will explore aspects of textile history, function, and design. Making textile is a basic human activity that spans virtually every culture and civilization, yet it is also among the most elaborate of artistic undertakings. Rich with symbolic and functional history, the textile industry was the first industry to be fully mechanized in Western Europe and helped usher in the Industrial Revolution. Strong economic pressure and market demand have remained integral to the process of constant upgrade in technologies for design and production of textiles.

The exhibition features an array of works by  textile designer Amin Kalaf.

Book Event with Professor Emeritus Manuel Marquez-Sterling

Posted by -->

3:00 pm

Lamson Library and Learning Commons

The Lamson Library and Learning Commons invites the campus and community to revisit the last days of the Cuban Republic with Professor Emeritus of History, Manuel Marquez-Sterling.  Dr. Sterling will discuss his recently published book, CUBA 1952-1959: The True Story of Castro’s Rise to Power, on Tuesday November 3, 2009.

Dr. Sterling was a witness to history in the seven critical years 1952-1959 when the struggle for Cuba was not just between Fulgencio Batista and Fidel Castro only, but also a third force that advocated for a peaceful, democratic resolution.  Elections were held on November 3, 1958 and Dr. Sterling’s father, Carlos Marquez-Sterling, was a candidate for President.  His father won easily, but there was rampant electoral fraud, due to Batista and the Army.  Six weeks after the election, Batista fled Cuba and Castro’s revolution took over the country.

Dr. Sterling’s book destroys many myths about Cuba and shows that it was a progressive country with a prosperous situation, and in the fast lane to become a First World country, with a large Middle Class, a fine educational system open to all classes, and with high standards of living.

Copies of Dr. Sterling’s book will be available for purchase. The campus and Plymouth community are welcome to attend.
