Sacred Threads Exhibition

Embroidery on Single-Use Plastic by Katherine Earle

Sacred Threads is an exhibition that challenges traditional perceptions of textiles as mere domestic craft by showcasing textiles through their materiality as powerful expressions of spirituality, community, healing, and ancestral and personal narratives. This inclusive platform displays artists from diverse backgrounds to share their stories through the medium of textiles in any configuration as showcasing diverse tactile forms and inherited craft traditions. Sacred Threads explores how artists engage with this medium as subject to enact social change, to share personal stories, to honor ancestral hands and to address political issues, contributing to a broader dialogue about the role of textiles in contemporary art. Curated by Haifa Bint-Kadi.

Featured artists: Isra Abdo, Yasmeen Abdullah, Melika Abikenari, Wendy Cohen, Joan Kosan, Ph.D, Ricki Dwyer, Katherine Earle, May Elian, Tom Hill, Elisabeth Jacobsen, Rhonda Khalifeh, Rosa Naparstek, John Paradiso, Patricia Stuart, Defne Tutus, Ishraq Zraikat, Hai-Wen Lin, Sabri Sundos, 

Join us for the opening reception of Sacred Threads on Saturday, August 2, 2025 from 2pm-5pm!
