Threads of Empowerment: Conflict Textiles' International Journey

About

People across the world have communicated their experiences of violence and conflict, human rights violations, poverty, oppression and environmental issues through the form of textile narrative.

The result is a visual record and a form of artistic expression based on personal, and often very poignant testimonies.
This collaborative exhibition will explore the strengths and highlights of the Conflict Textiles collection - its history, international diversity and the important themes it addresses.

Learn more about the Conflict Textiles collection and associated activities through this link.

What to know:
• This exhibition will take place in Art Gallery 3.
• It's free to visit and no booking is necessary.
• This exhibition is on display until Sunday 27th April 2025.
