FLUID BORDERS: Ways of Seeing Oriental Rugs

FLUID BORDERS: Ways of Seeing Oriental Rugs is a Gallery Experience consisting of a superbly illustrated talk followed by a viewing of antique carpets, rugs, flat-weaves and bag-faces.

Through rugs from a wide range of traditions and styles, FLUID BORDERS will explore the impact of oriental rugs on western decor, art and thinking, and trace an understanding of the history of this fascinating branch of textile art.

Susan Scollay has curated the Gallery Experience for The Johnston Collection with selected works from The Johnston Collection and private collections in Melbourne.
