Synopsis

The Cloth Remembers highlights story cloths as powerful visual languages that preserve memory, identity, and resilience. From Hmong "flower cloths" depicting displacement, to Indonesian Batik Kompeni narrating colonial conflict and Chin weavings recalling everyday life, these textiles became archives of resistance, survival and hope. Artists will critically respond to these narratives, juxtaposing traditional textiles with contemporary practices, creating new dialogues on displacement, cultural identity and the collective power of storytelling through cloth.
