Mariachiara Gasparini is invited by the Assembly of the Collège de France, at the suggestion of Professor Frantz Grenet.
The four lectures proposed below synthesize some main aspects of my current and past scholarship in the fields of Eurasian visual art and material culture, as I have been undertaking it in the last ten years of research through the analysis of more than 2000 textile items held in private and public collections worldwide.
The lectures are in English.
