Textile Culture Net is officially supported by Creative Europe

Textile Culture Net is an international network of four textile institutions: Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź (Poland), Lottozero in Prato (Italy), TextielMuseum in Tilburg (The Netherlands) and CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textiles) in Hong Kong.

Born informally and spontaneously in spring 2020 against the backdrop of the global pandemic, the four institutions joined forces to conceive what would become a long-running experimental collaboration. TCN’s fourth edition for 2023/2024 is co-funded by the European Union, within the framework of the prestigious Creative Europe program.

TCN’s online exhibitions are published on the Instagram accounts of the institutions and connected by the hashtag #TextileCultureNet. The exhibitions program will start in September 2023. The existence of the network will be strengthened through a publication which aims to collect the content of the online exhibitions and will be launched in June 2024, during a public event held at Lottozero in Prato, Italy.

To select its guest curator, Lottozero has launched an open call, open until May 7, 2023.
