The New Politics of the Handmade
Contextile2020, Places of Memory
Portugal (and Guimaraes in particular) has a long tradition in textile production, both artisanal and industrial, from the manufacture of yarn and fabric including clothing and household textiles
Whose Book Is it Anyway?
Whose Book is it Anyway? is a provocative collection of essays that opens out the copyright debate to questions of open access, ethics, and creativity. It includes views – such as artist’s perspectives, writer’s perspectives, feminist, and international perspectives – that are too often marginalized or elided altogether.

The Development of the New Tapestry
A report written in 1976 for the British Council post awards for studying with Magdalena Abakanowicz at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan and a 3 month tour of other art schools and workshops in Poland. As an historical account and personal reflection, the report notes the pedagogical differences and practices between Warsaw, Krackow, Gdansk, Lodz and Poznan
Introduction

Material Codes
New forms of digital imaging such as GPS and satellite mapping have had significant impact on our collective senses of orientation in space and time. Similarly, digital software such as that used for Jacquard weaving allow for new forms of collage, superimposing, combining, repetition, and fragmenting of imagery, which further disrupt a stable perspective. This article links concepts of global data circulation and collection with contemporary dat…

We introduce the collaborators of this interdisciplinary project, spanning textiles, music, arts technology, computer science, mathematics, anthropology, media theory, and philosophy. We tell the multifaceted story of how we met and bega…
Crocheted Strategies
In 1987 Virago Press published Women and Craft. Su Richardson was one of the co-editors and contributed an interview with Gaie Davidson called “Crocheted Strategies: A New Audience for Women’s Work.” The book was an outcome of the Feminist Arts News 1981 “Craft” issue which raised a number of questions about the relative status of crafts and arts and the value-level derived from women’s assigned status as “other” than artist. In turn, this emerge…
Women and Middle Eastern Textiles
This special issue of Textile draws on a wide range of sources and methodologies, such as interviews and memoirs, economic analysis, and oral history to reflect on the production and knowledge of women's textile skills both past and present

Shaping Space
As a visiting scholar from Australia, Diana stayed with Janis Jefferies in 2002, working at the Constance Howard Research and Resource Centre in Textiles at Goldsmiths College, and explored the riches of London, including the Freud Museum. The ideas for this issue of Textile tentatively emerged out of seeing the potent architecture of Anna Freud’s loom centrally placed in her consulting room, above her father Sigmund Freud’s study, with its insta…
