Textile Culture Net: an international network of four textile institutions
Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź (Poland)
Lottozero in Prato (Italy)
TextielMuseum in Tilburg (The Netherlands)
CHAT - Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile (Hong Kong)
TCN institutions share the common ambition to develop new curatorial practices, engage younger and more diverse audiences and collaborate internationally.
Using the realm of the digital as a dissemination platform, the network launches a series of co-curated online exhibitions, offering space to a diverse palette of cultural perspectives, as well as ways to present, collect and facilitate the making of textile art and design.
The guest curators who have been invited to join the project in 2023/2024 are:
Caroline Kipp (USA), Bukola Oyebode (Nigeria / The Netherlands), Zoe Yah (Taiwan) and Hilde Skancke Pedersen (Norway / Sámi).
TCN’s online programs are published on the Instagram accounts of the institutions and connected by the hashtag #TextileCultureNet.
exhibition program
TCN invites guest curators to join its curatorial team proposing an exhibition theme to which other curators react with an artwork proposition. This dialogue shapes a dynamic exchange of views, methods and perspectives on textile.
