Textiles are part of everyday life. We wear them, they stretch, fade, tear and get repaired. Along the way, they soak up time, touch and memory — often without us noticing.
Hyundai Translocal Series: Entangled and Woven starts from that simple idea. Bringing together new work by eight contemporary artists and collectives from Korea and India with historic textiles from the Whitworth’s collection, the exhibition traces surprising connections between Manchester’s industrial past and living craft traditions shaped by culture, migration, labour and care.
