Textiles X Art

Textile art has shed its association with domesticity to take centre stage in galleries, biennales and critical discourse. Across the globe, artists are embracing techniques like weaving, embroidery, quilting and dyeing, while pushing them into bold new territory. Far from decorative or nostalgic, their works speak to urgent contemporary themes of identity, gender, migration and environment. This survey of 44 artists reveals the shifting boundaries between craft and fine art, and the expressive power of fabric. Details
