View "Threads of Heritage: Syrian Textiles as Living History," a cultural exhibit exploring the artistry, symbolism, and regional diversity of traditional Syrian garments. Featuring handcrafted pieces from cities such as Hama, Aleppo, Homs, and Saraqib, the exhibit highlights textile practices that reflect identity, memory, and cultural continuity. Many of these traditions are increasingly at risk of disappearing, making preservation efforts especially urgent. 

This exhibit, on display in the rotunda of the Clark Library, follows a live presentation held on March 30 and offers you an opportunity to engage with Syrian textile heritage as both an artistic and historical narrative.
