Traditional Matryoshka Nested Doll Making
This beautifully illustrated interactive presentation is being presented by award-winning artist, scholar and educator, Marina Forbes, and will feature the unique history and culture of Matryoshka nested doll making. Forbes will use a fully illustrated show and numerous exhibits, including examples of her own work and from her extensive collection. In this presentation Forbes will examine the tapestry of the rich folk tradition and symbolism of the doll’s appearance and the interesting link between doll making and other traditional art forms. Forbes will also touch upon the 1900 World Fair in Paris that made nested dolls and Fabergé eggs famous, followed by an illustrated tour of a working doll-making factory in rural Siberia depicting the various stages in the doll making process. The presentation will conclude with a glorious show of hundreds of examples of the finest Matryoshka artwork.
This event is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities.
