SILK & SKY: TEXTILES FROM CENTRAL ASIA

Silk and Sky: Textiles from Central Asia reveals how cloth acts as a language through which histories are carried and continually remade. Through an exploration of richly patterned ikats, embroidered suzanis, and garments, this exhibition traces how identity, craft, and cultural meaning were woven into everyday life across a diverse and historically layered landscape.

EXHIBITION DATES: 30 May - 9 August 2026
