Using textiles, fibre and thread, 50 international artists challenge power structures and reimagine the world in Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art.

Textiles cover and protect us, engage our senses, trigger our memories, represent our beliefs, hold our stories. We are wrapped in cloth when we’re born and enshrouded in it when we die. As an artistic medium, textiles can speak to the joys and pains of being human, as well as the larger structures and systems that shape our world.

From intimate hand-crafted pieces to monumental sculptural installations, the works in Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, offer narratives of violence, imperialism and exclusion alongside stories of resilience, love and hope.
