| Riassunto: | Why have artists been drawn to textiles to challenge power structures, transgress boundaries and reimagine the world around them? This book shines a light on 50 contemporary artists who - drawn to the tactile processes of stitching, weaving, braiding, beading and knotting - have explored the transformative and subversive potential of fibre and thread. Spanning intimate hand-crafted pieces to large-scale sculptural installations, the featured artworks are radical in their form and politics, speaking to stories of marginalisation and exclusion, as well as emancipatory joy and transcendence. |
