DE/CODING TEXTILE. Contemporary Art Reflecting Textile Traditions brings together works by fifteen artists from nine nations that were created during the residencies organised by AFAR (Artists for Artists Residency Network) in Mulhouse (FR), Bucharest (RO), Zagreb (HR) and Săcel (Maramureș, RO) in 2023/2024. Referring to the historically characterised environment of the four production sites, the selected artists react with their individual artistic expression and in a wide variety of media. The virtual meets the analogue, the smooth meets the fluffy, tradition meets deconstruction, the "typically male" meets the queer and feminist, the deadly serious meets pop humour.
