Woven Stories: Panel Discussion

The Textiles and Materiality Cluster at the Milieux Institute invites you to a 30-minute panel discussion and Q&A session exploring key themes from the National Gallery of Canada’s Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction exhibition. Join PhD scholars Victoria MacBeath, Geneviève Moisan, Fernanda Suarez and Morris Fox for a captivating conversation that will touch on:

• Textiles as material, technique, and subject
• Making as a tool for socio-political change
• Textiles as communal acts of care

This discussion will not only delve into these themes through the panelists' creative research practices but will also serve as a lead-in to the Woven Futures: In Conversation panel, which will take place later in the evening.

This second panel, hosted at the National Gallery of Canada and live-broadcasted into our space, will feature a Q&A where members will have the opportunity to ask questions first to panelists, Dr. Miranda Smitheram, Armando Perla, and Michaëlle Sergile.
