Stitching Solidarity: Activism in Textile Art Symposium

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventOrganising a conference, workshop, ...

Description

In a world that often denies the right to resist, in
this symposium scholars, artists, textile-makers
and activists will explore the multifaceted ways
textiles can serve as a powerful medium for
expressing, documenting, and archiving
narratives of resistance. This symposium
transcends traditional notions of protest and
vocal activism, highlighting the quieter, more
subtle forms of resistance that emerge through
textile-making practices. We are particularly
interested in examining how the imagery of a
single thread or the accumulation of small,
meaningful actions can weave together into a
bold tapestry of dissent.
