Launching TEXTILE CULTURE BACKUP

After four year of incredibly intense curatorial and research with our international partners Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź (Poland), TextielMuseum in Tilburg (Netherlands), and CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) in Hong Kong we are proud to finally present TEXTILE CULTURE BACKUP.

This extraordinary 400-page publication, designed by award-winning graphic design Studio Mut, features 18 curators from around the world and more than 110 artists. It documents the online exhibitions held by Textile Culture Net, an international network of four cutting-edge institutions working on the bridge between textile art and design, fashion, urban regeneration, and sustainability, from 2020 to the present.
This game changing book captures the power and evolution of contemporary textile art, tackling important and current topics and is a physical archive of stories, cultures, and materials woven into powerful narratives.

TEXTILE CULTURE BACKUP will premiere on September 12 at 6:00 PM at Lottozero in Prato, Italy, in the presence of the chief curators from all four network partner institutions, as well as some of the curators involved.
The book will be available for purchase at the event and at the Lottozero online store.

Textile Culture Net is co-funded by the European Union. Through the Creative Europe 2023/2024 program Grant Agreement n°101099994
