RSA-US Student Design Awards aka #SDAUS, is an award program to inspire collaborative and multi-disciplinary design-led social by connecting design students and faculty with industry needs.
Why do we need SDA-US? Why now?
“It is a pivotal moment in the field of socially responsible design. More than ever, design professionals are involved in projects that have a social impact. Student enrolment in educational programs or social innovation is growing exponentially.” Bill Moggridge, RSA Royal Designer for Industry, co-founder of IDEO and Director, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum 2010-12.
How can I participate?
The awards are open to design students at US accredited schools. Faculty should oversee the students’ work, ideally by building the brief into the curriculum, by setting up workshops, and/or by individual mentoring. We'll announce the 2014 briefs and key dates in May 2013- so stay tuned:

I'm inspired - and I'd like to talk about designing or sponsoring a brief for 2014

I thought it would be a good idea to walk to the Silk Museum until I discovered it didn't open until April.
But it seems that they will be open next Thursday for The Warner Textile Archive as it's holding an open day on Thursday, 18 February as part of the BBC's 'A History of the World' project.

Crowds mingle during a pre-gala preview of "A Lady Found a Culture Through its Cloth," an exhibit of batiks collected by Dr. Dunham (President Obama's mother), exhibited by the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. The preview was held at the at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, August 8, 2009 as part of the
"Enchanting Indonesia," gala dinner, co-hosted by the Ambassador of Indonesian to the U.S.A. H.E. Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat and the Chairman of Investment Coordinating Board of Indonesia Mr. Muhammad Lutfi, with President Obama’s
little sister Mrs. Maya Soetoro-Ng and family as guests of honor. Representatives of the St. Louis Artists' Guild, including president Davide Weaver and his wife Gina, Guild Board Member Harry Lim, and local artist Gina Alvarez were at the dinner to advocate for bringing the exhibit to St. Louis. They were successful, and on October 1, the exhibit opened at the Artists' Guild as part of "Innovations in Textiles,", St. Louis' citywide, biannual textiles exhibition, and included both Dr. Ann Dunham's batiks as well as pieces from the collection of Indonesian First Lady Mdm.

Even though it was a Sunday, a demolition crew was actively tearing down this textile mill while we were in it.

The Dunean mill is unique because it is the first mill in the area to be made with tan brick. Also, note the decorative cornices on some of the roof sections.
Although the neighborhood no longer depends solely on the mill for jobs, the Dunean Mills community is actively maintaining its neighborhood identity, as well as trying to revitalize and improve quality of life.
I don't know where this fine woven sash or belt was made. If you recognize it, please let me know. Many thanks
