In April of 2026, PhD candidate Maggie Wilson traveled to Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany in order to visit collections and historical sites relevant to her dissertation, “Making and Breaking Enclosure: The Movement of Art Through Late Medieval Convents.” Maggie visited the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, where she met with the director of sculpture to preview the museum’s new installation of monumental embroidery produced in the Heath convents of Lower Saxony. She visited two of these convents in person during her trip, viewing the works of textile, painting, and sculpture still in situ at the Convents of Ebstorf and Wienhausen. The iconographic development of nuns’ textiles and their use in liturgical space is the topic of Maggie’s second dissertation chapter, “Layers of Enclosure in the Ebstorf Altar Embroidery.”
