An exploration of textiles, global identities, and their influence on society, art, and technology.
Explore the intricate relationship between textiles, humanity, and the world around us. This compelling exhibition showcases a range of stunning garments, textiles, and materials that have shaped our civilisation – from the fabric of everyday life to the ropes and reins essential for industry and innovation.
With pieces that celebrate global identities and highlight the cultural importance of animals, visitors will experience how textiles have influenced everything from art to technology. Including work by UK artist Lynn Setterington, the exhibition offers a thought-provoking journey through history and culture.
