A series of seminars and online forum
‘Context and Collaboration’ - generating cross-sector discussions
between contemporary
textile practitioners, curators and academics. The discussion specifically
focuses on the role of museums, galleries and Higher Education Institutions
in developing a framework for identifying needs and determining strategies
for collaboration across and between sectors.
Context and Collaboration will take the programming of contemporary
textile as a case study; how to enable the presentation or prioritisation
of contemporary
textile exhibitions.
The discussion will also take place through this website on the Forum.
The final Paper is now published on this website.
