HALI 227 celebrates a one-week-only display in Paris, of thirty-two Grande Galerie carpets created for Louis XIV, and there are extracts from a new book which chronicles the ongoing quest of Karun Thakar to engage with chintz—as a collector, enthusiast and educator. The MAK in Vienna replaces its controversial carpet displays; and Hawaiian barkcloth and featherwork star in a show at the British Museum, where—in another exhibition—textiles reveal samurai customs and hierarchies. Coinciding with the Year of the Horse, we present textiles relating to the noble beast, from a Washington, DC, exhibition and elsewhere. Textiles from the Andes demonstrate how weavers preserved ancient traditions despite colonial occupation, and we trace the history of the sazigyo of Burma in Buddhist traditions. A Yale University exhibition focuses on Indonesian textiles; in Copenhagen there are vintage postcards from the Middle East; and, in Paris, the work of Magdalena Abakanowicz is celebrated.
