About this event
Join Women's Connection Museum Arts at the National Gallery of Art for Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction. This transformative exhibition explores how abstract art and woven textiles have intertwined over the past hundred years.
In the 20th century, textiles have often been considered lesser—as applied art, women’s work, or domestic craft. Woven Histories challenges the hierarchies that often separate textiles from fine arts. Putting into dialogue some 160 works by more than 50 creators from across generations and continents, the exhibition explores the contributions of weaving and related techniques to abstraction, modernism’s preeminent art form.
Explore this overlooked thread of art history that centers new voices: creators once marginalized for their gender, race, or class.
We'll meet at 12:45 pm just inside the 4th St entrance to the NGA East Building (the newer one), and join the public tour at 1:00. After, we’ll head to the Cascade Café for a casual gathering over a late lunch.
Event Host: Gretchen Schieber, SIGs@DC-ttnwomen.org Repeat attendees will be invited to host a future event.
