Exhibition

The Parsons Healthy Materials Lab presents Regeneration of Flax: Linseed, Linen, Shive & Oil at the Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries on 5th Avenue in NYC. The exhibition will display the breadth of applications of products from the flax plant and encourage increased regional development of flax fiber in North America. Through the diversity of innovative designs, historic and current, our goal is to reconnect designers with the lifecycle of their materials.

Flax has been used for centuries for ropemaking, as a food source, and for textiles. It is a bio-based replacement for petrochemical-based products. The entire flax plant (Linum Usitatissimum) can be utilized, leading to zero-waste, healthier materials for textiles, finishes, paints, insulation and flooring. Through showcasing photography, material samples, written text, diagrams and artwork, the exhibit will display the flax plant through its life cycle, in various applications, and ultimately its compostability. Currently, fiber flax is primarily grown in Western Europe. Our exhibition will bring discourse to revitalization efforts of flax for linen textile production in North America. Additionally, the exhibition will highlight and display the use of linseed oil and shive byproducts for the built environment.

In response to the current climate crisis, our exhibition and related public programming will contribute to the crucial discussion concerning carbon sequestration, regional economies and the ongoing shift towards healthier, bio-based materials.

ANTI_FASHION

Curated by Li Edelkoort & Philip Fimmano, Co-Founders, WHF

Since its creation in 2014, Li Edelkoort's much-talked about ANTI_FASHION Manifesto was the first to raise awareness about the shifts and upheavals experienced in the global garment system. Ten years on, the world has changed as much as the fashion industry itself; often welcoming a more restrained approach that combats fast consumption, spurring a powerful movement towards sustainability, creativity, diversity and uniqueness. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of ANTI_FASHION, World Hope Forum is pleased to present a special webinar, sharing stories of people that lead by example — a slow fashion revolution that includes independent brands, folk favourites, outsider artists, artisan makers, textile farmers and style philosophers.

This free online September event is hosted in collaboration with New York Textile Month and forms part of our ongoing Talking Textiles educational programme.

The winner of 2024 Dorothy Waxman International Textile Design Prize will also be announced in the conference!

Talk

Join fashion archivist Sarah C. Byrd in conversation with Mae Colburn and her mother, Carol Colburn, about a collection of 600+ secondhand wool skirts assembled by Mae’s grandmother, Audrey Huset (1922-2022), between 1960 and 2000. 

This spring, Mae, Carol and other family members worked together to catalog the entire collection, before moving it from Carol’s home in Duluth, Minnesota to Mae’s rag rug weaving studio in Brooklyn, New York. In the process, they created a striking photographic record of the wool skirts, now viewable on the collection website.

For this event, Mae and Carol will introduce the collection and trace its evolution to date, as well as discoveries made during their cataloging process. In conversation with Sarah, they seek to create a broader platform for discussion about home collections, inter-generational stewardship, and possible futures for this collection and others like it.

Workshop

The Pocket Project is an exhibition, workshop, and performance. It's also a talk, as everyone has a pocket story that they are happy to relate and we all commiserate, laugh, and chat as Sandye Renz crafts and sews on their new pocket.

Sandye encourages participants to bring the item they want pocketed (she has a rack of "blanks" just in case.) To make the actual pocket she has two small suitcases filled with fabric, pre-made pockets and pouches for attendees to rummage through and pick what they want me to use for their pocket, or participants can bring their own pocket materials. Sandye has all the tools and supplies. Now, where do you want this pocket?

@my_mother_taught_me

“As soon as I learned to sew clothes I would add pockets to the patterns”- Sandye Renz. She doesn't sew her clothes anymore but she still puts pockets on almost everything. She is a pocket addict. It is so much easier to go through the day with pockets so why don't women's clothes have enough pockets? She schleps her sewing machine near and far to remedy this.

Exhibition Opening

For Textile Month, Padina will be presenting a surreal collection of art and fashion, produced with groundbreaking textiles that redefine sustainable design. Her initiatives integrate traditional craft into technology, modernizing existing tools and techniques to develop new sustainable systems in textile production.

Through her practice, she has developed many proprietary tools and systems the most notable being a spindle that spins LDPE (aka garbage bags) into a range of monofilament yarns that can be used for domestic or industrial textile production.

The plastics used in this process are sourced from street waste bins. This 0-waste process produces minimal secondary pollution and is more energy efficient than the industrial alternatives. This versatile yarn can be knit, crocheted, laced, woven, braided, and even sewn in a variety of garments, accessories, or framed art.

Inspired by early anatomical, botanical, and entomology imagery; used to build a narrative that explores the impact of plastic pollution on the human body and the environment. Padina's mission is to establish new industry standards, create with purpose, and harness the power of design to contribute to a bright, sustainable, and impactful future.

The Beautiful Forevers is curated by Margaret Lanzetta

Artists: Steve DeFrank, Tamara Gonzales, Joyce Kozloff, Holly Miller, Margaret Lanzetta, and Sarah G. Sharp

The Beautiful Forevers, an exhibition of contemporary painting in dialogue with historic global textiles, opens on Saturday Sept 7th from 3 -6 pm. A conversation between the artists and Leesa Hubbell, textile designer and batik expert, will be held Saturday Sept 21st at 3 pm. The Beautiful Forevers presents a visual and conceptual dialogue between six artists and textiles drawn from artist Margaret Lanzetta’s extensive collection. This collection began with the acquisition of a blue and white cotton weaving in Luxor, Egypt in 1978. Her diverse collection now includes Guatemalan huipils, African bark cloths, Malaysian songkets, and Indian tie-dyed and block printed fabrics, etc. The title, The Beautiful Forevers, is excerpted from the 2012 non-fiction book by Katherine Boo, chronicling the lives of slum dwellers in Mumbai. These slum dwellers, like many textile artisans, toil anonymously; rarely credited for their work or talents. Yet, like textile artisans, they create works that are beautiful forever. Each artist has an affinity to a significant aspect of textiles: color: Steve DeFrank, symbolism: Tamara Gonzales, politics: Joyce Kozloff, pattern: Margaret Lanzetta, materiality: Holly Miller, and thread: Sarah G. Sharpe.

Exhibition Opening

Tempest gallery presents the exhibition Welcome Stranger.

“The study & practice of craft is [] a form of material resistance against ethnic cleansing, genocide and occupation.”-Jenna Hamed

“The stranger, on the other hand, can also easily become and already is each one of us, as we exist as both subjects to ourselves and objects to others in the world.” -Laurel V. McLaughlin, “As Strangers And Refugees: Olu Oguibe’s Performing Monument” in Monument Lab.

For September 2024 NY Textile Month, a group of artists will present new work on layette pincushions. Titled Welcome Stranger, the group show will focus on amuletic craft and Palestinian steadfastness.

The current genocide and displacement of Palestinians stands in discussion with the hopeful beauty and labor inherent in these objects. We see layette pincushions as a punctum of resourcefulness, resilience, and evidence of a gifting culture amongst a community that supported each other through the serious mortal threat that childbearing and birth could be. Currently, giving birth in Gaza is more dangerous than it was for the Victorian women sewing layette pincushions in the 1800s. 

The threads tying Victorian layette pincushions to Palestinian resistance are imaginary, but we are interested in the way material culture and especially amuletic or emotionally charged objects can widen our lens with which to see current events.

Research on the themes in Welcome Stranger by Lauren Bradshaw & Jenna Hamed will accompany the exhibition.

Please visit to see works by Taesha Aurora, Amir Badawi, Lauren Bradshaw, Katherine Earle, Francisco echo Eraso, Gigi Gruenburg, Jenna Hamed, Clare Hu, Vandana Jain, Ayqa Khan, Amalya Megerman, Theo Trotter, Defne Tutus and Natasha Vega.

Workshop

Taking time to write down morning notes has been a habit for Tzu Li since 2021. Using words to record everyday life, experiences, emotions and feelings, became a way for Tzu Li to sort out her mind and talk to herself.

One day at the beginning of this year, Tzu Li came up with the idea of translating these morning notes into small pieces of textiles, where her passion always sits in. Furthermore, she’s attracted to the idea of regularly recording something for a while. She found a series of simple and direct, just day-after-day records, can be so powerful, so intriguing.

Inspired by each day’s deepest thoughts or feelings, Tzu Li translated these messages into her textile languages among knitting, weaving, quilting, mending, and many other techniques. Being familiar with playing with colors and textures, Tzu Li used left-over, recycled, or vintage yarns and fabrics she collected over times, and manipulated with different techniques to represent her morning notes.

Tzu Li invites the participants to interpret their days into a piece of textile.

In the workshop, participants will first write down one of their recent days, for one-page long, and then will highlight the strongest or most appealing sentences within the notes. Afterwards, Tzu Li will encourage the participants to pick fabrics, yarns, and any other appliqués, according to the emotions and feelings in those highlighted sentences. Having several textile elements in front, participants can be inspired by Tzu Li’s “50 Days of Morning Notes”, and will be guided by Tzu Li to create their own one-of-a-kind textile page.

Exhibition Opening

"Tentacular Threads” is curated by Kathie Halfin, the exhibition "Tentacular Threads" delves into the intricate relationship between hybridity, the experience of everyday, and the process of making to explore how desperate elements converge to create new narratives and experiences. Featuring artists Natale Adgnot, Frid Branham, Rina AC Dweck, Kathie Halfin, Yudit Katz, Elizabeth Tolson, the show investigates the concept of tentacular thinking—a term coined by scholar Donna Haraway to describe a holistic approach to consciousness. Tentacularity acknowledges the multiplicity of converging and expanding threads of sentience that co-exist together, much like tentacles that allow organisms to sense, feel, and interact with their environment.

These artists explore "Tentacularity" through diverse materials and tactile experiences to connect with one another and the world around us, re-imagining the possibilities and forms of fiber art. Adgnot contrasts objective facts with cognitive biases through sculptures inspired by bird-related idioms and includes materials such as horse hair and thermoplastic to mark chapters of her life. Branham highlights the marks and flows in our environment left by nature and community through the practices of crocheting and drawing. Dweck's hair sculptures are intertwined with juxtapositions, braiding together organic and synthetic materials to reflect everyday diversity, while Halfin's woven sculptures re-establish a connection with diverse life forms through activation of human senses. Katz’s weavings evoke the architecture of the human body, inviting contemporary connections in fiber art, and Tolson creates ceramic looms threaded with delicate textiles to explore themes of fertility and motherhood. 

The exhibition celebrates diverse forms of making, with artists communicating their hand-woven, sewn, braided, and crocheted narratives through haptic labor. Utilizing materials such as paper, raffia, human and animal hair, clay, discarded items, and found objects, they build bonds with their everyday surroundings. Through their work, these artists collectively emphasize the interconnectedness of lived experiences, natural environment and cultural narratives, creating a rich tapestry of sensory and conceptual engagement that bridges gaps in understanding of contemporary fiber art.

Opening event: September 5th 5-8pm

Closing event: September 19th 6-8 pm
