The History of Beads
Friday, May 20

Horchow Auditorium
Included in general admission to the Museum; DMA members FREE
Reservations recommended; reserve your seat online or by phone at 214-922-1818.

Known as “the doyenne of the bead world,” author and curator Lois
Sherr Dubin will investigate how beads have been used throughout
history and around the world as talismans, status symbols, religious
articles, and a medium of barter. For Dubin, each bead is a capsule of
cultural information, containing a fascinating tale of the origins of
its materials, its multifold uses, its travels, and its potent
symbolism. In addition to the lecture, enjoy an entire evening of
music, dance performances, tours, and family activities that celebrate
the exhibition Art of the American Indians: The Thaw Collection.
