But we rarely take the time to think about the meaning behind our wardrobe choices. This notion is the theme behind the Museum of Anthropology\u2019s upcoming exhibition, Layers of Influence: Unfolding Cloth Across Cultures. Curated by Dr. Jennifer Kramer, this visual exhibition will investigate the ability of clothing to display social prestige, economic status, political might, and spirituality. Featuring textiles from Japan, India, and more, Layers of Influence intends to make visitors think about clothing as more than a survival mode, but instead as an external expression of one\u2019s values. The exhibition takes place at University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology. <\/p>\n Eastside Culture Crawl<\/em>, November 17- 20:<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n The artist\u2019s studio is typically a private and dynamic space where an artist can work in peace, which is likely what makes this event so appealing to culture fanatics. The Eastside Culture Crawl is a four day festival in which over 475 artists open their studios to the public. Participating artists range from painters to jewelers, sculptors to printmakers and everything in between. The crawl aims to promote Vancouver\u2019s east end artists who demonstrate a high quality of work. The Eastside Culture Crawl takes place along Columbia Street, First Avenue, Victoria Drive, and the Waterfront. <\/p>\n
