Textile Cultures: Spain and England since 1500
Conference, 22-23 July 2004
School of Art, Winchester Campus, University of Southampton

Via the medium of textiles, this conference will explore the intricate relationships between England and Spain over the last 500 years, investigating both the collaboration and conflict inherent in differences in religious, political, economic and social systems.  The Armada apart, the interaction of England and Spain in comparison to that of England and France is an under studied field.  New insights into the dialogue between the cultures will be sought through analysis of material and visual culture of royal alliances, trade, tourism, collecting and the media: from consideration of the diffusion of textile technology to the intimate connections between people, clothes and identity.  The emphasis will be on the Early Modern period with a selection of papers on the Modern period.

The conference will take place on 22-23 July 2004, the 450th anniversary of the political alliance wrought between Spain and England through the marriage of Mary Tudor and Philip of Spain in Winchester Cathedral.  This conference will bring together academic colleagues from Spanish and British museums and universities with a specific textile research interest, as well as individuals with a more general interest from the local community.

The exhibition, England y Espan_a: The Marriage of England and Spain at Winchester Cathedral will complement the academic content and will display a range of artifacts including portraits and tapestries from Spanish collections.  From the University¹s own Special Collections will be exhibited at the Winchester Campus highlights of the Montse Stanley Knitting Reference Library (a collection of literature and objects mainly from Spain and England) and of the Janet Arnold Archive (a unique resource of patterns taken from Early Modern period garments in different European collections).

The conference will be held at the University of Southampton Winchester Campus, Park Avenue, Winchester SO23 8DL.  For further information, please consult the Conference website: www.wsa.soton.ac.uk/textilecultures or contact the Conference Secretariat, Ms Lorna Jefferies, Centre for History of Textiles and Dress on L.Jefferies AT soton.ac.uk or +44 (0) 23 8059 6904.
