Innovative Threads: Contemporary Weaving


  • Alberta Craft Feature Gallery 10186- 106 Street Edmonton, AB, T5J 1H4 Canada (map)

Explore Alberta Craft's latest Feature exhibition, Innovative Threads: Contemporary Weaving, highlighting the work of twenty-one Craft artists across Canada. In this national exhibition, artists investigate a variety of approaches to weaving. Works range from traditional to conceptual, where material and methods are both revered and subverted. Artists address themes of sustainability, mass production, and climate change, while others delve into topics such as queer and trans identity, feminism, and the societal value of labour in textiles. See how this group of artists skillfully employ and challenge our notions of weaving in physical and virtual spaces.
