Judy Newland is retired faculty in museum anthropology at Arizona State University where she served as the Director for the ASU Museum of Anthropology. A weaver, spinner, and dyer for over 40 years, she concentrates on weavings that spring from cultural ideas and process. Her research includes archaeological textile fieldwork in Peru, weaving in the Southwest United States, and indigo dye processes and cultural practices around the world. Her talk, Exploring the Meaning of Textiles Through Time and Place, explores art, society, politics, religion, and more, making connections through time and between cultures.
