Threads: Artists Weave their Worlds


  • Bowdoin College Museum of Art 9400 College Street Brunswick, ME, 04011 United States (map)

This exhibition brings together work by contemporary artists who incorporate weaving, sewing, quilting, and fabric to explore ideas about gender, identity, memory, and cross-cultural encounters. The works on view span a variety of mediums, including quilts, basketry, sculpture, tapestry, and painting, allowing their makers to weave powerful and intimate stories about their identities, experiences, and the worlds they inhabit.

The exhibition is supported by the Karl R. Philbrick Art Museum Fund, Bowdoin College.
