Thinking Through Tapestry is a juried exhibition featuring work that celebrates, explores, and builds upon specialized techniques often associated with tapestry. Thinking Through Tapestry invites artists to submit work exploring discontinuous weft-faced woven processes rooted in tapestry techniques, such as wedge weave, pulled tapestry, the use of hachures, or other structures, including the H.V. (Handarbetets Vänner) technique, also known as the Theo Moorman technique. The exhibition seeks to highlight work illustrating the close relationship between tapestry weaving*, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Experimentation and inclusion of additional materials (such as clay, steel, or wood) are encouraged and welcome; however, the majority of the submitted work must incorporate mostly handwoven work. Jurors: Emily Silver and Erin M. Riley

The Slovak Association of Textile Artists (TxT) is hosting the 24th International Textile Miniature Exhibition under the theme "EMPATHY". The exhibition focuses on artists' interpretations of this theme through small-scale textile works, exploring it as a "fragile state of attentiveness" rather than an automatic emotion. On view at Galeria Umelka, Bratislava, Slovakia. View the details of the exhibition at https://svu.sk/sk/expozicia/
