Bermuda Indigo Resist Lecture – Zoom Program

Lori Lee Triplett of Quilt and Textile Collections invites HQN Members to join a free lecture by the National Museum of Bermuda about their Bermuda indigo resist textile research.

NMB is continuing its free Bermuda and the Atlantic World lecture series with a virtual lecture on Early Bermuda Indigo Resist Textiles: Unraveling Bermuda’s 17th-Century Textile Legacy, presented by Lori Lee Triplett, a textile historian and researcher.

A remarkable collection of early indigo resist textiles discovered in Bermuda has shed new light on the island’s unexpected role in transatlantic textile trade and culture. Through meticulous research of colonial records, letters, wills, and shipping manifests, Lori Lee and Kay Triplett uncovered the origins of these intricate textiles—and their creators. Even more astonishing, matching pieces were found in America, revealing a previously unknown connection between Bermuda and the broader Atlantic World.

Thursday, March 27, 3.30pm Central  via Zoom
