Interdisciplinary anthology by editors Pavel Liška and Robin Mudry.
Interdisciplinary anthology that assembles and interweaves questions related to textile art, fashion and textuality into broader political, sociological, philosophical, art history and historical frameworks.
The original project TEXTile Manifestoes emerged out of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between several studios at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Students from the Studios of Fashion and Footwear Design, Graphic Design, Visual Communication and Type Design as well as Photography II worked together to weave textiles and discourses alike to design their manifestoes by combining fashion collections with burning contemporary issues such as mass surveillance, artifical intelligence or virtual reality but also to more private struggles of identity, memory and (mental) health. The students’ works were later complemented by and (re)contextualised with international contributions ranging from ancient Andean textile studies to neuropsychoanalysis or from literary and art criticism to aesthetics and musicology. With texts by Kyle Allan, Jayson Althofer, Erik Annerbo and many more.
The Czech Center New York launches the TEXTile Manifestoes anthology and hosts its editors and co-authors Pavel Liška and Robin R. Mudry at 27 SEP 2023 07:00 PM.
