Active Threads

Más información sobre el libro

Active Threads?, the book accompanying the eponymous exhibition, is devoted to the political aspects inherent in contemporary textile art. Eight artists challenge the often-cited metaphor of the social fabric. They address social ruptures, geopolitical conflicts, overt post-colonial wounds, along with examples of civil protest and motifs of fan culture. In-depth essays and extensive texts on all participating artists describe the role textiles can play as catalysts of social and cultural processes.00Exhibition: KAI 10 ARTHENA FOUNDATION, Düsseldorf, Germany (08.05. - 19.09.2021).
