MEXICAN TEXTILES INSTRUCTIONAL RESIDENCIES
WEAVING, EMBROIDERY OR TAPESTRY
This comprehensive, customized instructional residency program offers competitive professional opportunities for emerging and mid-career, national and international artists age 20 and over. Mexican textiles are the expression of Mexico’s diversity and complex sociocultural systems; through their narratives, iconographies, and techniques, they reflect a multiplicity of artistic traditions and identities. Clothing in Mexico signals wealth and power, they incorporate elements of class and gender differentiation in the process of performing and negotiating identities. Therefore the intricate language of textiles reflects a history of contention and resistance as a result of the amalgamation and negotiation of Mesoamerican and European civilizations.

region!
The Map Project: Where I Live
A textile exhibition in 1.5m
square format open to fibre art groups of the Canberra region. 14
October – 6 November 2016, opening Friday 14 October
We all have a connection to a place, a story or memory. In 2016
Belconnen Arts Centre joins with the community in celebrating 50 (+
50,000) years of Belconnen. The Map Project: Where I Live, will be part
of the celebrations. This iteration of The Map Project continues
artists’ explorations of the meaning of the place we call home, which
began with artist Istra Toner in Croatia in 2013 and has spread to the
UK and now Australia.
Textile groups from the ACT and region are invited to respond
collaboratively to the concept of: “mapping: where I live;” by exploring
ideas of home, place and belonging. Entrants are encouraged to engage
playfully, thoughtfully, radically, or somewhere in between. We invite
investigation and interpretation of geography, culture, history and
community relationships along with the personal perceptions and meanings
of living and being at home through the tactile, rich and varied medium
of textiles.
Successful
entrants in The Map Project: Where I Live will be notified by Friday 9
September 2016 by email.
More information about the Map Project is at http://themapproject13.blogspot.com.au

exhibitions must agree to their group contact details being forwarded
