Textile Tactics: Crafting Culture

A one-night exhibition of works from artists Sade Mims, Naima Dobbs, and Mahima Sirikulthada, followed by a conversation with Chyna Cassell.
About this Event

Join us at the Library for Arts & Culture for a hybrid exhibition and panel discussion, highlighting three textile artists and designers whose work shapes and drives culture. Curated and moderated by Chyna Cassell, the program will feature works from Sade Mims of Edas, Naima Dobbs of Nailoh Knits, and fashion designer, Mahima “Palika” Sirikulthada.

The program will open with guests engaging with selected exhibited works throughout the space, followed by a presentation of Mahima’s "i can’t cross my legs, can you?" fashion film. Chyna will moderate the panel, which will focus on the artists’ respective practices and methods, and the cultural context surrounding their works. The evening will conclude with a brief mingling session with beverages and light refreshments.

Textile Tactics: Crafting Culture is presented by New York Textile Month.
