Join Armando Perla, acting co-director and chief curator of the Textile Museum of Canada, along with artist and independent curator Michaëlle Sergile and associate professor Miranda Smitheram, in a conversation around textiles, art, fashion and cultural institutions.
Textiles contain many stories. This session looks at the many stories and histories untold and misrepresented through colonial narratives, as well as current practices that are actively rewriting histories and collaboratively imagining futures.
This event is organized as part of the Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction exhibition on view at the National Gallery of Canada until March 2. This transformative exhibition explores how abstract art and woven textiles have intertwined over the past seventy years.
