MAXXI L'Aquila | L'Aquila, Italy
The exhibition draws inspiration from and gives voice to various traditions and cultures, reflecting the widespread interest in textiles, not only as a medium of artistic expression but also as an integral part of daily life for individuals, peoples, and cultures, representing their most intimate and profound identities. The show features post-2000 artworks that use textiles as a language of choice to fashion visual landscapes, narratives, environments, and connections. Textiles become a lens for exploring approaches and traditions across national boundaries. Through continuous opportunities for learning and creative education, the audience is called to participate by imagining “sites” of engagement, in a reflection that starts from the local and history and extends internationally and into the future.
