The Textile Art & Theory class (A/HI 391) from Spring 2024 put together an Instagram account showcasing their research. Students wrote posts about textile and fiber artists who address the use of material throughout the twentieth century. Each post shows the artists' work, a description about the artist and the artist's work based on what students learned. This Instagram exhibition includes a wide variety of artists, styles and techniques, with some interesting stories!
