Cosmin Costinas curates a new themed section exploring textiles, weaving and legacies of colonialism.
Together these eight solo presentations will make visible the histories and continuous legacies of the colonial catastrophe, from the economies around textiles to current forms of exploitation and political complicity, as well as point to the various languages available to artistic practice in this critical effort. -Cosmin Costinas
