Textile work, historically, is inextricable from the lived experience of women transnationally, and is continually relegated to the realm of the “feminine” rather than recognized as a tangible and creative cultural marker. Given the homogeneity within the group of voices given importance by way of centuries of social norms, it has become increasingly necessary to turn to the feminine experience as a simple, yet authentic shift in perspective that enriches our collective reality.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s annual textile exhibition, Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, aims to center female voices and experiences through textile and fiber artistry as a means to promote dialogue and community with intention and curiosity.

 

This project has blossomed from a one-time celebration into an ongoing, evolving dialogue about social and civic engagement across generations, space, and experience through a gendered lens. As such, each of the iterations of this annual exhibition present an opportunity for everyone involved in its production—from the curatorial and exhibition teams, to the artists—to engage in a community that they not only participate in, but have helped create.
