What is the role of textiles in the world today and in the future? To discuss possible answers to this question, Fiberspace has invited Jessica Hemmings, Textile Writer & Professor of Craft and Vice-Prefect of Research HDK, Bella Rune, Artist & Professor of Fine Art, Textiles, Konstfack, Åsa Pärson, Master Weaver and Delia Dumitrescu, Professor & Manager of the Smart Textiles Design Lab, Borås Textilhögskolan to a webinar on International Women’s Day, the 8th of March 2021 at 18-19.30. There will be time for a Q&A at the end, so please join us to share your thoughts and reflections too. This is the first in a series of webinars made possible by the support of Kulturförvaltningen Stockholm Stad.

Fiberspace would like to thank the City of Stockholm for the generous cultural grant to develop Fiberspace+ which is the digital offering that we aim to develop to complement the physical gallery experience. This will include panel discussions, interviews, studio visits and digital workshops. Stay turned, details coming soon!

The Ninevites is a design studio and collaborative platform founded by Nkuli Mlangeni-Berg. Their beautiful woven textiles for the home tell a story of black culture and unheard voices; of age-old traditions in a modern context; of heritage and handicraft. These textiles are definitely on our covet-list!

Fiberspace's director, Marcia Harvey Isaksson is collaborating with KHVC and Svenska Institutet in an idea-generating project bringing together an amazing group of artists who have weaving as a common thread. The artists are Mariana Silva Varela (SE), Kristina Müntzing (SE), Cöme Touvay (FR), Mark Corfield (UK), Emelie Röndahl (SE) and Julia Bland (US).
