Fabric arts and crafts have been granted Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) status by UNESCO for several years now. Traditional silk from Central Asia, loincloth weaving in Côte d'Ivoire and Palestinian embroidery are all classified as ICH, and bear witness to practices that are rooted in societies and eras, and whose leg continues to be perpetuated in a constantly changing world.

The round table Textile arts, reflections of identitiesproposes a reflection on the role of textile arts in the construction and expression of individual and collective identities. Through intersecting perspectives (historical, aesthetic and anthropological), speakers will explore how textiles participate in cultural and social dynamics, between traditions, know-how and contemporary issues.

Moderation: Catherine Poujol, professor of Central Asian history and civilization at Inalco
