Behind the Curtain

While students study, Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center exhibits manager Chris Gately sets up the upcoming exhibition of African textiles, Textiles Tells Stories: Exploring the African Studies Library Collection, at Mugar Memorial Library. The exhibition highlights textiles’ important role in Africa and its diasporas, commemorating major historic events, reflecting social status, and offering a glimpse into the diversity of African life. The textiles, and clothing from BU community members made from African textiles, will be on display throughout the first floor galleries from March 19 to May 20. Photo by Cydney Scott
