Textile, Trade and Terror (Òwú, Fil, Faden, Thread)

Textile, Trade and Terror (Òwú, Fil, Faden, Thread) is a multi-sensory inquiry into the entanglements of textiles with history, memory, and reclamation. It follows the trade routes of fabrics such as damask and lace, connecting geographically distant places and weaving the histories of Bregenz, Lagos, St. Gallen, Vienna, and Dakar into a polyphonic fabric of recollection, refusal, and possible futures. It bears witness to relations of power, modes of belonging, and forms of knowledge that have passed through hands, bodies, and generations.
