That’s a wrap on my @MSCActions postdoc at the Centre for Textile Research @UCPH_Research on the textile
materialities of conflicts in Cambodia - infinitely grateful for these privileged years of travels, thinking, writing, and growth. Thank you to my mentor @NoschMarie
I so enjoyed talking with @IsabellaRosner for @sewwhatpodcast on all the Cambodian textile things. Thank you so much for giving space to these complicated stories of silk, textile crafts, colonial legacies and war/ postwar politics. I hope it will interest you all.
Surprise! There's a new Sew What? episode out today and it's an interview with Dr Magali Berthon (@magalianb) about Cambodian textiles. Give it a listen here: buzzsprout.com/1075825/15431…. Here's a thread of images and links pertaining to what we discuss in the episode
Excited to present “Reading the textiles and clothing from Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum: Care, Survival and Materiality of the S-21 Prisoners’ Lives” at #EuroSEAS conference next week with brilliant panelists and chairs for an essential session on S-21 euroseas2024.org/panels/read…
It talks like a duck, it walks like a duck, it’s a duck.
“The equivalent of what we are in the United States is between the center-right and the center-left, with regards to ideas.”
In an exclusive interview, Marine Le Pen tells me she objects to the “stigma” of being labelled far-right.

The only thing that comes to me these days is resist. Resist dehumanization, resist oppression, resist normalizing violence, resist minimizing suffering, resist cynicism, resist apathy, resist cowardice, resist silence. We go by our days as if the world is not burning.

A bit late to reading this investigation on István Zelnik, but this opaque figure has been on my radar for a while, as he is also an avid Cambodian silk collector and he claims to have the largest collection in the world (not true) - begs to ask how he acquired his textiles.
He also managed to sollicit the expertise of two well-known textile scholars on his collection, vetting it and increasing its supposed value. khmersilkdrzelnik.com/about-…

Sharing this review again on the @quaibranly monographic exhibition of Dinh Q Lê who has just passed away, in which i discuss the textility of his work interlacing photographic prints and summoning ghosts from Cambodia and Vietnam’s troubled histories. A huge loss for us all.
My review of 'Dinh Q Lê, Photographing the Thread of Memory', a haunting exhibition @quaibranly is in @TextileRout journal. Talking trauma, memory, Cambodia and Vietnam's joint histories tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Another layer of loss as I see just now that my article was cited by Oscar Salemink,leading voice in anthropology, heritage and Vietnamese studies at @UCPH_Research who passed away in 2023 and whom I really wish I could have met in Copenhagen. tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.…
