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 (CAMP)'s annual fiber 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.
