Weaving & We Second Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art,

摘要

Spread over two floors, six galleries, and the museum grounds, Weaving & We brought together over 60 exhibitors—before counting parallel exhibitions organized around the city as part of the Second Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art. A high proportion of the works on display simply would not have fit into a typical city center exhibition space in Europe. The predominance of large-scale work coupled with a far more balanced representation of men and women as exhibitors and conference participants may not have been a conscious strategy for the event organizers. Nonetheless, these two facts contributed to an atmosphere far less consumed by familiar textile debates around gender, domestic narratives, and the individual.
