As part of an upcoming series of talks on curation in craft organised by the National Craft Gallery, Professor Lesley Millar will give a talk on curating contemporary textiles at 2.30 on October 28th this year, concurrent with the Knit and Stitch show in the RDS, Dublin.

She is the author of a large number of articles on arts and textiles and has curated exhibitions all over the world. She is currently Project Director for ‘Cultex’ - an exchange scheme between textile artists in Japan and Norway. Her current research and curation projects include a major international exhibition, Transparent Boundaries, which will open in the Gas Hall at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in late October 201.
