The Textile and Place conference explores the politics of textiles. Hosted by Manchester School of Art, the conference builds upon the debates from the first Textile and Place conference which took place in 2018 and postponed from April 2020 thanks to the pandemic.
It is now presented online.
​
We are delighted to be partnering with the British Textile Biennial, who are hosting a range of events and exhibitions online
