Threads That Remember

Textiles have long existed at the intersection of the intimate and the monumental—objects of daily use that also carry histories of labor, migration, gender, and memory. In this exhibition, works by Graziela Guardino, Katrina Majkut, Sienna Martz, Filippo Moroni, Karyl Sisson, and Ghizlane Sahli come together to explore textile as a living language—one that absorbs time, gesture, and social meaning.

 

Rather than treating fabric as a passive surface, these artists activate textile as structure, skin, and narrative. Threads are stretched, layered, unraveled, or reassembled, revealing processes that are as important as the finished forms. The works oscillate between softness and resistance, intimacy and tension, tradition and rupture. In doing so, they question how material remembers touch, how craft can hold political weight, and how repetition becomes a form of meditation or protest.
