Beads and bead making are becoming more recognized for their cultural significance, leading to new projects that explore and preserve information about bead history. Three Northwestern University experts in anthropology, history, and media and technology have collaborated to produce a documentary on the glass bead trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. One part of the project is the newly released, award-winning DVD, Art Seymour: Solo Performance, which captures Art making chevron beads in his studio in Nevada.
