| book description |

Textile Textures: Multithreaded Narratives is a collective volume edited by Marta Kowalewska, an outcome of the international project â€œInterweaving Structures: Fabric as Material, Method and Messageâ€ organized jointly by the Central Museum of Textiles in ÅÃ³dÅº, the Faculty of Fine Arts, Music and Design at the University of Bergen, and the Doctoral School of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. The bookâ€™s uniqueness lies in its multi-aspect treatment of the medium of textile, regarded from the perspectives of art, history, anthropology, technology, politics, post-colonialism, museology, curatorship, and fashion, as well as from personal points of view taking shape amidst questions on identity, tradition, craft, collaboration and kinships with architecture, design, and industry. Individual themes are examined in relation to the issue of textile being a tangible medium of memory and a unique language which, by virtue of its nature, interweaves a variety of different themes.
