17 September 2025, Vera Anstey Room and Shaw Library, LSE
Textiles from Bengal contributed to British industrialisation and ideas of fashion worldwide, and this one-day event at LSE will celebrate that history.
The event will feature a workshop, a book-launch and an exhibition of objects.
Jointly origanised by LSE, UCL, and Weavers Studio (Kolkata, India), the workshop will bring together historians, textile scholars, designers, textile practitioners, museum curators, and producers (weavers, spinners, and embroiderers) in a discussion on how the past informs the work they do.
Places are strictly limited but, if you would like to attend the workshop, please complete this form and we will let you know by 5th September if you have been succesful.
Organisers: Tirthankar Roy (LSE) and Alka Raman (UCL)
