Threads of Her brings together 32 women textile artists from 14 countries, exploring how the ancient language of weaving has become one of the most powerful tools for resistance, healing, and change in our time.
For centuries, women have used thread and cloth to tell stories that could not be spoken aloud. This exhibition brings those stories into the present, weaving together contemporary artists whose work continues this lineage.
What You will Experience
Across three interconnected galleries, visitors move through landscapes of woven memory: from the indigo-dyed cloth of West African cooperatives, to the embroidered protest banners of Latin American collectives, to the digital weaving installations created by indigenous artists in the Pacific Northwest.
Every thread is a sentence. Every pattern is a story. When we weave together, we are writing the future with our hands.
