The latest volume in The Met’s How to Read series, focusing on the rich and varied textiles of Africa through forty exemplars from the nineteenth century to the present day

Historically, handwoven cloth and clothing made across the African continent have been labor-intensive creations deeply embedded in local and regional value systems. These fabrics, frequently adapted to communal and individual needs, serve to clothe the body, divide architectural space, protect physical = and spiritual well-being, and convey wealth and authority. This volume in The Met’s acclaimed How to Read series features forty masterworks of African fiber arts, from a dynamic nineteenth-century interior hanging from Sierra Leone to a dreamlike textile canvas by a contemporary Malagasy artist. Authors Christine Giuntini and Jenny Peruski explore the complex histories of production, consumption, and exchange attached to these extraordinary works; contextualize long-standing and recently embraced techniques and materials; and offer readers new ways to appreciate Africa’s diverse textile traditions.

大都会艺术博物馆“如何解读”系列的最新一卷，聚焦非洲丰富多样的纺织品，收录了从19世纪至今的40件代表作。

从历史上看，非洲大陆各地的手工织布和服装是劳动密集型的作品，深深植根于当地和区域的价值体系中。这些织物常常会根据集体和个人的需求进行调整，用于蔽体、划分建筑空间、保护身心健康与精神安宁，以及传递财富和权威。在大都会艺术博物馆备受赞誉的“如何解读”系列中，本卷呈现了40件非洲纤维艺术杰作，既有19世纪塞拉利昂一件充满活力的室内挂毯，也有当代马达加斯加艺术家创作的如梦似幻的纺织画布。作者克里斯汀·朱蒂尼和珍妮·佩鲁斯基探讨了与这些非凡作品相关的复杂生产、消费和交换历史；将长期存在及近年采用的工艺和材料置于具体语境中进行解读；并为读者提供了欣赏非洲多样纺织传统的新视角。
