Description:

On view November 7 - December 2, 2024

Fabric of the Earth features a collection of fiber-based works that convey the urgent state of climate change. This polyphonic exhibition weaves together diverse perspectives on ecology and environment, including works that focus on scientific studies, social justice, and our lived experiences in relationship to the natural world.  Each artist's approach to textile lends a nuanced and tactile perspective on the current state of our climate. Not only does it challenge our ties to the textile production industry and its role in climate change and injustice, it also makes concrete and tangible our sense of environmental dread. Intentionally situated within a history of “craftivism,” the exhibition is marked by compelling conviction and prompting climate action for the sake of both planet and people alike. Fabric of the Earth features woven, sewn, quilted, and stitched artworks that welcome our community to intertwine our voices and stories to create the fabric of our future.
