Fray: Art and Textile Politics, Julia Bryan-Wilson and Helena Reckitt in conversation

Julia Bryan-Wilson introduced the book’s focus of both fine art and amateur registers of hand making in art since 1970, unveiling insights into how textiles inhabit the broad space between artistic and political poles—high and low, untrained and highly skilled, conformist and disobedient, craft and art. After Bryan-Wilson’s introductory talk Reckitt joined her in conversation, with a moderated Q&A with the audience following.
