"Weaver's Stories from Island Southeast Asia" delves into the
personal stories of individual textile artists, bringing
recognition to their accomplishments, skills, and extraordinary
lives. Photographs of ten women from eight locations in the
Southeast Asian archipelago along with examples of their weaving
are accompanied by a DVD showing them at work.
The book is part of a project to bring stories from the lives of
Southeast Asian weavers and batik makers to an American audience,
using video as the main component. Although the makers of textiles
are generally not named in American museum collections, the
creation of textiles is not anonymous in Southeast Asian
communities. Senior artists are held in public esteem, and the
cloth they produce is instantly recognizable to local people as
their unique product.
Roy W. Hamilton is senior curator for Asian and Pacific
collections at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. Other contributors
include Jill Forshee, Traude Gavin, and Cherubim A. Quizon.
