Selected Artisans

TEXTILE – HANDWOVEN

Handwoven textiles are narratives, woven and decorated by these thoughts and emotions that flow through each yarn, weft and warp, colors and patterns, carefully crafted with sincere love, care and creativity. Here we share the stories of talented crafters of traditional and contemporary textiles.
Every piece of art has a story to tell, and in light of our theme of “Resurgence” this year, we bring together stories of sustainable art practices using eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind objects of art.
