TEXTILE CULTURE NET gets Special Mention by CIMAM

We are incredibly proud to announce that our Textile Culture Net project, has been given a Special Mention by CIMAM for its Outstanding Museum Practices Award 2021!

Textile Culture Net, the collaborative and ongoing online exhibition initiative we are part of together with CHAT - Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile, Central Museum of Textiles Lodz and TextielMuseum, was lauded for forging new transnational collaboration models in response to the current global situation and ecological urgency.

Paying homage to the cooperative nature of textile practices as well as the application of new technologies, we joined forces to share our unique content, collection objects, and even manpower, not only to offer a fresh textile lens for wider audiences to enjoy art and design, but also to introduce a new chapter in curatorship and program direction for textile institutions today.
