In Interwoven Histories: Contemporary Art, Migratory Narratives and Textiles, curator and researcher Christel Vesters unravels the intricate connections between textiles, history and society through the lens of contemporary art. With essays and detailed examinations of five seminal works of art, she looks at the craft of textile making as a medium, exploring how woven objects ― old and new ― bear witness to migratory histories and stories that are often marginalized, ignored or forgotten.
Engaging with both the historical narratives attached to fabric objects and the evocative quality of the medium, Interwoven Histories invites us to consider textiles as vehicles for the movement of ideas, traditions, patterns and techniques, and as a unique material prompting a more sensuous and tactile engagement with the world around us.
With contributions by Christel Vesters, Mounira Al Solh, Rachel Dedman, Antonio Jose Guzman & Iva Jankovic, Nico de Jonge, Elisa van Joolen & Vincent Vulsma, patricia kaersenhout, Ananya Jahanara Kabir, Kathy M’Closkey, Romita Ray and Jennifer Tee.
