A RUNNING THREAD
ITERARTE’S ART FAIR DEBUT AT EDITIONS ART & DESIGN, DUBAI, Nov 6-9 2024

Thread serves as a unifying theme and material in ITERARTE’s showcase at Editions Art & Design Fair 2024, highlighting the fusion of contemporary art and traditional craftsmanship.

Through its innovative Variations project, ITERARTE explores the intersection of modern artistic practices and handmade techniques. This unique collaboration between artists and skilled artisans reimagines the meanings and processes behind original works, with textiles and thread playing a vital role in weaving these narratives within rich cultural contexts.

Textile practices, deeply embedded in cultural and historical traditions, often passed down through generations of women, evoke a profound connection between identity, memory, and heritage. From the techniques of carpet weaving to cross-stitch embroidery, the Variations project presents a collection of commissioned works that reflect diverse cultural legacies, engaging in dialogue with the personal stories of each artist. By honouring these traditions while embracing contemporary innovation, the exhibition celebrates the transformative power of thread as a medium and symbol across cultures.
