Diasporic Threads: Black Women, Fibre and Textiles

An invigorating survey of Black women textile artists, celebrating their vital contributions to cultural and social histories through fibre-related mediums. 

Historically ignored or overlooked in surveys of art history, Black women artists that work in fibre and textiles have often been further neglected – their artworks reduced to hobby or handiwork without proper consideration to their deeper significance. From rug-making and hand-felting to computational textiles, the work of seven contemporary artists offers a remedy. Explored through a series of interviews, Diasporic Threads collates their diverse practice in a potent reminder that anti-Blackness and misogynoir are global issues, contested and resisted at the intersections of race, art, and cultural memory.
