Ehxibition

During New York Textile Month 2024, four graduate students from the Swedish School of Textiles—spanning both the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs—are proud to present their innovative degree work. This exhibition showcases the intricate craftsmanship and deep knowledge required to create textile pieces in an increasingly digitalized world. As emerging designers, they share a commitment to sustainability, recognizing the vital role it plays in shaping the future of design.

In a time when the digital realm often overshadows the tangible, these textile designers emphasize the importance of staying grounded in our craft and environment.

Their works draw inspiration from their surroundings, telling stories and conveying awareness through textile techniques. Each artist in this exhibition integrates sustainable practices into their creative process, making deliberate choices that reflect a deep respect for the environment and a desire to influence the future of design positively.

The exhibition will be open daily from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
