Queer Threads: crafting identity and community<\/h2>\n

‘Designed by Todd Oldham and edited by John Chaich, this 192-page, hardcover, 8 x 10-inch book features full-color spreads of each artist’s work, along with intimate details of selections and artist studios, as well as an introductory essay by Chaich, who curated the exhibition of the same name that inspired this book.<\/p>\n

To further examine how queerness informs their work in fiber and textiles, or vice versa, the artists are interviewed by makers and thinkers from the worlds of dance, design, fashion, media, music, museums, scholarship, and more\u2014many members of the LGBTQ community themselves, and otherwise passionate allies.’ – ammobooks.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
