The Collective: Textiles as Community | 2023 Project Threadways Symposium Join us April 20–22, 2023, as we explore the power of small groups to create big changes through the everyday act of making. Project Threadways will share stories of those who have gathered to weave, craft, sew, and tuft—and, in doing so, created economic opportunity, organized resistance, and achieved self-determination from their work. The 2023 Project Threadways Symposium will offer in-person and virtual experiences. In addition to the presentations, in-person guests will experience the local community—steeped in textile history—through food, drink, a workshop, and conversation. Learn more and get tickets at projectthreadways.org.
