- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join material culture historian and artist Diane Irby for an in-depth look at the intricate world of Victorian hairwork. While often remembered today through the lens of mourning, hairwork was a complex domestic art form that served as a material language of love, memory, and identity within the 19th-century American home. 

In her presentation, Diane will provide an overview of the history of hairwork and the various techniques used to transform human hair into art, with an emphasis on wirework, which is her specialty. She will trace the rise and fall of the traditional craft's popularity, examining how hairwork was created and displayed within the domestic sphere. 

Crucially, the presentation will highlight the role hairwork played in the lives of women in the Victorian era, exploring how this "sentimental fancy work" provided unique opportunities for creative expression and agency. A Q&amp;A session will follow the presentation.
