Curated by Hayley Ferber
Bronx, NY: Connective Threads brings together 15 artists working across diverse textile processes— sewing, quilting, weaving, and sculptural assemblage among others—to explore connection as both material structure and social metaphor. Spanning two- and three-dimensional works, and incorporating both traditional fibers and unexpected materials, the exhibition highlights the tactile languages through which artists bind, layer, stitch, and interlace forms into a cohesive whole. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how varied voices, backgrounds, and perspectives intertwine, suggesting that our differences are not seams that separate us, but the very threads that hold us together.
The opening reception on Saturday, March 21 from 3-5pm will include an interpretive dance performance by Regina Hood, a retired dancer from the Harlem Ballet.
Join us for an artist talk moderated by the curator on Saturday, April 4th from 2-4pm.
The closing reception on Sunday, April 19 will coincide with the Hunts Point Art Festival.
