Virtual Verbal Description Tour – The Designs of Dorothy Liebes

Description

This program is designed for blind and low vision audiences. Anyone who benefits from the verbal description of visuals is welcome. 

Join Cooper Hewitt for a virtual tour of A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes, co-led by exhibition curators Susan Brown and Alexa Griffith. American textile designer, weaver, and color authority Dorothy Liebes (1897–1972) had a profound influence across design fields, helping to shape American tastes in areas from interiors and transportation to industrial design, fashion, and film. Through rich verbal description of Liebes’s textiles, we will explore her signature “Liebes Look,” which combined vivid color, lush texture, and often a glint of metallic. Her vibrant patterns became inextricably linked with the American modern aesthetic. 

When: Friday, November 17, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET 
Where: On Zoom 
Participation Level: Medium – Participants may sit back and listen or engage in active discussion.
