The transmission of history through textiles as seen in the work of three contemporary artists In Interwoven Histories , the Dutch curator and textile researcher Christel Vesters unravels the intricate connections between textiles, history and society through contemporary art. She examines five seminal works of contemporary art by artists Mounira Al Solh (born 1978), Antonio Jos Guzman (born 1971) and Jennifer Tee (born 1973) with a mind attuned to narrative-building. For Vesters, textile functions as both medium and mediator; it bears witness to and communicates marginalized histories and forgotten stories.
Engaging with both the historical narratives attached to textile objects and the affective quality of the medium itself, Interwoven Histories invites us to consider textiles as a vehicle for the movement of ideas and traditions, patterns and techniques, as well as a material that promotes a sensual and tactile engagement with the world.
