Textile Cartographies is a mouvement started in 2021/2022 as a participatory arts based project. Currently, the network has 35 groups. Groups who already participated are located in Australia; South Africa: Namibia; Egypt; India, Iran; Israel; Kyrgyzstan; Indonesia; Italy: Norway; The Netherlands; Portugal; Spain; Latvia; China; Japan; Brazil; Mexico; Colombia; USA and Canada.
Each group has one or more coordinators and develop textile art actions with participants using 10x10 cm squares. The actions are designed with the participants to reflect about environment; climate justice; social justice and other sustainability issues through exploring visual narratives using arts and textile technologies. The squares are sent as gifts to other groups to be exhibited in different locations. By October 2025, we estimated that about 8000 people were engaged in TC actions organized by the local coordinators in museums; schools; universities; cultural sites; social/health care and non-profit organisations. We have organised 36 exhibitions since 2022, and done 2 general publications. |
