Radical Textiles

In a world in turmoil, this group show champions the vitally important role textile works have played in activism, protest and community organisation, which is timely indeed. Examining some 150 years’ worth of fabric that sends its message loud and clear, Radical Textiles begins with the pushback against machine-driven industrialisation by British tapestry weaver William Morris and spins from there through 100 artists, both local and international, with the collection also including photography, painting, sculpture and video art.
