Connecting Threads

Tactile social history

Beschreibung

Connecting Threads brings together twelve textile projects completed between 1981 and 2024. Each one acts as a social history document, providing tactile evidence of often untold stories of people on the margins, unexamined histories and overlooked places, all through stitch.

Autor

Lynn Setterington is a major British textile artist known for her hand-stitched quilts and embroideries. Her research is situated at the intersection of craft and community, social engagement, design and activism and she creates tactile social history documents with groups and communities to interrogate social injustices and celebrate the overlooked and everyday. These sensory cloths provide soft, alternative flexible forms of commemoration, countering the fixed, hard memorials, ubiquitous in many parks, city centers and stadiums. Mary Schoeser is an internationally respected textile and wallpaper historian who has published and curated widely. She has collaborated with many museums over her 40 year career, including the Fashion Textile Museum, London; the V&A - where she is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow - and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
