Congratulations to PhD student Luke Hester and TWDC’s Programming and Marketing Manager Rebekah Utian (CWRU Art History MA ‘24) who co-organized a Pop-Up Museum, “Storied Threads: Natural Fibers from Past to Present,” hosted by the Tremont West Development Corporation as part of its Arts in August series. The Pop-Up offered visitors a first-hand experience with primary historical textiles crafted from a wide range of naturally sourced fibers, and featured objects from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Education Art Collection and the Hellenic Preservation Society of Northeast Ohio. Over two hundred visitors attended the exhibition to learn how innovative clothing production is being revitalized in the present day, as demonstrated by the presence of local Cleveland-based designers and makers alongside the historical objects. Rebekah and Luke appeared on the local television program New Day Cleveland to help promote the exhibit and respective programming. For their generous collaboration and participation in the event, the co-organizers are grateful to Sabine Kretzschmar and Amanda Sisler (CMA Education Art Collection), Dean Peters of the (HPS), and Prof. Andrea Rager, from whose class on embodied fashion the Pop-Up developed.
