“UNRAVELED: CONFRONTING THE FABRIC OF FIBER ART” GROUP SHOW

EN

Curated by Indira Cesarine, this exhibition featured textile and fiber-based artworks by more than 40 contemporary artists. “UNRAVELED: Confronting The Fabric of Fiber Art” explores in depth the themes and techniques of the medium through the works of female-identifying artists working with natural and synthetic fiber, fabric, and yarn. The exhibition presents figurative and abstract works that address our lived experience and history through the lens of women weaving, knotting, twining, plaiting, coiling, pleating, lashing, and interlacing. Narratives of self-identification, race, religion, gender, sexuality, our shared experience, as well as protest and the patriarchy are literally “unraveled” through embroidery, felt, woven and hooked rugs, braided and sewn hair, sewn fabrics, discarded clothing, cross-stitching, repurposed materials and more.

A mostra explorou em profundidade os temas e técnicas por trabalhos de artistas de identificação feminina que trabalham com fibras naturais e sintéticas, tecidos e fios. A exposição apresenta obras figurativas e abstratas que abordam nossa experiência de vida e história através das lentes de mulheres tecendo, atando, entrelaçando, enrolando, plissando, amarrando e entrelaçando. Narrativas de auto-identificação, raça, religião, gênero, sexualidade, bem como o protesto e o patriarcado são literalmente “desvendados” por meio de bordados, feltros, tapetes, cabelos trançados, tecidos costurados, roupas descartadas, costura de ponto de cruz, materiais reaproveitados e muito mais.
