Social FabricInterconnectedness: Patterns and Diversity
Symposium dates
Friday 30th August - Sunday 1st September 2024
Venue; Forum North, Whangārei
Social Fabric, Interconnectedness: Patterns and Diversity is the annual symposium for the Costume and Textile Association of New Zealand (CTANZ). This is the first time it will be hosted in Northland, the program shares the latest research and discoveries in the realm of dress, textiles and contemporary art. We have a wonderful selection of presenters sharing in response to our theme, and we can announce our three Keynote speakers; the fabulous fabric artist, educator, and storyteller Ron Te Kawa, Rowan Panther, the lace textile artist whose immaculate work occupies the space between art and artefact and Ruth Port from the weaving group Te Rā Ringa Raupā, who are contributing to research on the incredible Te Rā through their work to replicate it. We’ll bring you more on their work and other papers you can look forward to in future newsletters. It's a dynamic meeting of minds, where we present a rich tapestry of papers, panels and events that reflect our diverse interests and expertise. Bringing together Aotearoa’s leading curators, historians, academics and artists working in this field this is a weekend you will remember.
