# The University of Pretoria Museums is currently showcasing a new thought-provoking exhibition that brings together a selection of textiles from across the globe. Bokgabo ba mašela: The Art of Textiles exhibition aims to elevate textiles as an art form, while acknowledging the powerful narratives of women’s lives that have been woven into every piece. Exhibition curator Uthando Baduza says from 12th-century Mapungubwe to the haute couture fashion designs of South African icon Marianne Fassler, these textiles continue to carry with them stories of resilience, culture and identity.
