Textile Society of America Symposium 2024 - Shifts and Strands

Az idén Shifts and Strands alcímet viselő rendezvény a textil és a textilművészet lehetőségeit, potenciálját elemzi neves szakemberekkel, reflektálva ezek kortárs és történeti, tudományos, kreatív, társadalmi, politikai és kulturális gyakorlataira. 

"The theme “Shifts and Strands: Rethinking the Possibilities and Potentials of Textiles” invites us to reflect on the many exciting shifts in textiles as historical and contemporary, cultural, creative, scholarly, political, discursive, and scientific practices. “Shifts” suggests transition, movement, evolution, mutability, instability, uncertainty, experimentation, and being in-progress or in-process. “Shifts” also reaffirms an ongoing process of transformation and change within the Textile Society of America. “Strands” is a textile metaphor that implies intertwining, connectedness, plurality, and multiple parts coming together to form a larger whole. “Strands” is a metaphor for collaboration, joining, and community. The Symposium theme is deliberately open, fluid, and inviting—it invites us to reflect upon the past and to envision and create collective, equitable, sustainable, and emancipatory futures."
