ISS BACKGROUND
The ISS is an event of the World Shibori Network, a grass roots organization founded in Japan in 1992 and dedicated to the preservation of shibori and similar traditional techniques across the globe. This, their 7th symposium, is co-organized with the Paris American Academy and is hosted by the musée du quai Branly, Paris, and by the Université Lumiere Lyon 2.
ABOUT SHIBORI
Shibori is the collective term in Japanese for tie-dye, stitch-dye, fold-dye, pole wrap-dye, etc. The most common English translation is “tie-dye”; however, a more accurate and encompassing translation is “shaped resist dyeing,” which describes the inherent patterning process of manipulating the two-dimensional cloth surface into three-dimensional shapes before compressing them to dye.
