2010 Costume and Textile Conference

TheNewDowse is delighted to announce it will be hosting the 9th annual Costume and Textile Conference on the 12 and 13 of June 2010 in the Lower Hutt Little Theatre.

Historically, and within current practice, costume and textiles are synonymous with survival, and are certainly no stranger to disaster.

The 2010 New Zealand Costume and Textile Association conference will address the perilous theme of Hanging by a Thread. We look forward to receiving moving, inspirational, and thought provoking papers that tell tales of disaster and survival.

You are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 300 words on the theme Hanging by Thread. Please include a short biography.

Abstracts should be forwarded to Dr Jane Malthus by Friday 5 February 2010.
