How can we learn to nurture sensibility? How do we care for each other and bear sorrow together? How might we begin to heal ourselves and the world around us? In a time of rapid change, this exhibition invites you to slow down, engage with the work of 14 artists from across Asia, and turn inwards.
Textiles have always been inseparable from our spiritual life. They appear in rituals and ceremonies, accompanying people through the cycles of life and death, joy and sorrow, parting and reunion. They also move with us every day, gently connecting our inner world and the spaces we inhabit. Passed from generation to generation, the acts of weaving, dyeing and stitching form a tactile language of memory, emotion, belief and imagination – both personal and collective.
Here, we explore textiles as living pathways that intertwine into spiritual maps. They weave threads between people and place, ancestors and ecologies, the visible and the unseen, softness and strength, while opening up futures and possibilities of living, relating, and caring for the world.
