SUMMARY:Sew Inclusive: male & non-binary textile artists in conversation
DESCRIPTION:“When I started to use embroidery – some women had a problem with this\, they felt that I was working in a territory that was not supposed to be mine.” – Michael Raedecker \nHear textile artists Richard McVetis\, David Morrish and Andi Walker discussing their experiences and artistic practices\, in a panel chaired by fellow textile artist Nicola Perren. \nRichard McVetis studied at Manchester School of Art & the Royal College of Art\, where he now teaches. His practice is deeply rooted in process\, and intrinsic to this is hand embroidery: a record of time and presence\, an embodiment of thought and patience. Recent works examine the connection to material and place through personal histories and address questions of class and race. \nDavid Morrish is the Wilcom Digital Embroiderer of the Year (2019 & 2021) and has collaborated with leading artists\, designers and brands across the globe. His work crosses boundaries & disciplines and tackles a wide range of subject matters. Amongst other things\, he is currently working on a collaborative quilt for the Terrence Higgins Trust\, which will be unveiled at this year’s Festival of Quilts\, and he was recently featured on BBC1’s “Make it at Market”\, showcasing digital embroidery to over 2 million viewers. \nA graduate of the Royal College of Art\, Andi Walker’s work frequently challenges and subverts societal norms around gender. Their work often includes performative methods of applying dye to cloth\, and is frequently positioned within the context of dance\, exploring the relationship between dancer & garment. They have recently worked with the Yorkshire Sculpture Park\, creating the “Stitched Stories” quilt\, which is on display at YSP until 9th July. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Shakespeare and the Fur Trade: Ermines and Whiteness in The Winter's Tale
DESCRIPTION:Fur was an important marker of status in early modern England. \nThis talk\, by Dr Todd Andrew Borlick\, investigates the role of fur as a performing object on the Shakespearean stage\, revealing the problematic alliance between the theatre industry and the global fur trade. \nIt argues that Shakespeare troubles this alliance by humanising animals and bestialising humans\, while exposing furs as signifiers of racialised affect. Specifically\, it looks at the queen Hermione in The Winter’s Tale as a personified ermine\, a creature that embodies monarchical power\, female sexual purity\, and hyper-whiteness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Todd Andrew Borlik ia a Reader in Renaissance Literature\, Director of International for Arts & Humanities\, Admission Tutor for English Literature\, Creative Writing\, and Screen Writing\, and Membership Secretary for ASLE-UKI\n\nFind out more in his most recent book – Shakespeare Beyond the Green World\n\nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Hudfam: The Huddersfield Origins of the Fair Trade and Sustainability Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a public talk by Professor Bertrand Taithe on the history of Hudfam and its remarkable founder Elisabeth Wilson. \nThis is the story of how Huddersfield came to have one of the first charity shops in the country selling second-hand clothes and fair-trade products. Originally called the Huddersfield Famine Relief Committee\, Hudfam was founded in 1943 to campaign for relief during the Indian and Greek famines in the Second World War. In the 1960s it organised a sale of items made by Chinese refugees in Hong Kong. This was the start of Hudfam’s pioneering sale of fairly-traded handicrafts made in development projects around the world– an idea which became the bedrock of Oxfam’s global development and sustainability goals. \nElisabeth Wilson was a ground-breaking woman: entrepreneur\, fundraiser\, development campaigner\, Quaker\, Buddhist and peace activist. Her fascinating story will be told through her memoirs\, photographs and fair-trade objects. \nThis is a free event\, but donations are very welcome. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE \nBSL interpretation will be available at this event.

SUMMARY:Building Bridges with Knitting after WW2; plus Knit & Natter
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of Night on the Knit\, join us for a knit-themed afternoon: first\, hear about how a knitting project helped the reconciliation between Britons and Germans in the aftermath of WW2\, then we’ll ‘knit & natter’ – don’t forget to bring your yarn! \nKnitting for Peace and Reconciliation: the Women’s Co-operative Guild’s remarkable humanitarian project after 1945\nSpeaker: Steven Illingworth \nThis talk will take a new look at the influence and work of the Women’s Co-operative movement during the Second World War. It will argue that the WCG\, who famously introduced the white poppy in 1933\, maintained a coherent pacifist policy throughout the conflict and gave vital support to the ‘victims of aggression’ both during and after the war. \nStay around after Steven’s talk for some knitting and nattering! Bring along whatever you’re working on and join a friendly group of fellow crafters in our bright gallery space. Crocheters (cross-stitchers\, patchworkers….) are welcome too! \nThis is an informal social session\, not a taught workshop\, but you’ll be able to share tips and ideas\, swap patterns and meet new people. \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Quilted: Community\, Creativity and Care - Huddersfield
DESCRIPTION:Quilted celebrates the powerful art of quiltmaking. Stitching a quilt can be an act of protest\, a gesture of care\, or an opportunity to connect with other people. Quilts can be personal and heartfelt\, made with a particular individual in mind. Quiltmaking can also be a collective activity: people can work together to explore and share social\, political and creative ideas. \nQuilted represents the work of many hands and reveals multiple stories. The exhibition brings together three distinct groups of quilts to provide a rich conversation about quiltmaking today. \nThe Threads of Survival quilts were produced across the UK by over 160 people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of these quilts were made in challenging times and in difficult circumstances. Threads of Survival is an ongoing project and is open to all. Several communities have made new quilts in response to the exhibition as it has toured. The exhibition here\, for example\, features new quilts made by communities in Leeds and Rotherham.  \nThe exhibition also features quilts made by local communities working across Kirklees. These quilts reveal the remarkable creativity and commitment of groups and collectives dedicated to caring for others\, combating isolation and encouraging community action. \nQuiltmaking remains an important medium for artists today. Quilted features a range of quilts made by individual textile artists and makers based in and around Kirklees. These quilts reveal a host of innovative methods\, ideas and narratives. \nThere are lots of ways to explore your creativity with textiles. At Huddersfield Art Gallery: Unit 7\, there is a full programme of talks\, presentations and workshops designed to encourage people to meet\, stitch and learn together.  \nThis event listing is for Huddersfield Art Gallery:Uit 7. Opening hours: Wednesday to Saturday\, 11am – 4pm \nPlease check the Bagshaw Museum listing for opening times and location details.
