Hello from Sweden.
WSN President Yoshiko I. Wada is currently in Sweden on the invitation of iapsis (the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Program). Today, we share a photo round-up of her travel so far…
Yoshiko Wada at Beckmans School of Design, Stockholm
In Stockholm, Yoshiko conducted a workshop and gave a lecture at The Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities and later visited the Museum of Ethnography to look at their textile collections. At the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Yoshiko talked about resist-dyed textiles from across the world.

Yoshiko also met with The Swedish Shibori Society (Svenska Shiborisällskapet) to understand their work and discuss common interests.

Our thanks to all the wonderful folks in Sweden – artists, schools, workshop assistants, museum partners, volunteers, iapsis and the Swedish Shibori Society – who have made this exchange possible!
