Textiles of Exile
Fiber arts made by immigrants, refugees, and displaced persons
Through May 12, 2012
Gregg Museum of Art & Design
All around the world, individuals have responded to displacement by making textiles that reflect their difficult new lives in unfamiliar environments.
Working with fibers is one of the oldest of human activities, one of the easiest to seize and carry in an emergency (needle and thread are far lighter and more compact than pottery wheels, carpenter tools or blacksmith forges), one of the easiest to hide, one of the most comforting to engage in, and the craft most closely associated with storytelling.
Due to various combinations of factors like these, links between the loss of home and place and the fiber arts are found almost everywhere. In Textiles of Exile, the Gregg Museum displays examples from Hispanic immigrants in California, African slaves brought to the Americas, Afghan refugees in Pakistan, imprisoned women in Chile, and relocated Cambodian Hmongs in North Carolina; all call attention to the universality of the “silent scream” of homesickness.
Co-curated by Molly Johnson Martinez and the Gregg Museum staff.
