Symposium: Social Fabric (expired event)

A symposium bringing together local, national and international speakers to explore issues surrounding textile-based art practices.

Organised alongside HERE&NOW19: Material Culture, this symposium explores ideas surrounding textile-based art practices, including labour, women’s work, materiality, globalisation and environmental sustainability.

It features a keynote presentation by academic, artist and curator Mali Wu. Based in Kaohsiung and Taipei, Wu’s art practice and research focuses on what art can do in the public sphere, including prompting discussion about environmental and feminist issues.
