Explore how artists reclaim ancestral weaving practices in an exhibition curated by Samantha Lance
In The Love that Remains, three Toronto-based artists recover matrilineal histories of displacement and belonging through their contemporary textile practices. Artists Par Nair, Julie Gladstone, and Carol Ann Apilado revitalize ancestral practices to reconnect with their families, genealogies, and homelands. They seek to reconcile with the loss, trauma, and grief tied to their histories in the South Indian, Sephardic, and Filipino diasporic communities respectively. The artists’ acts of weaving, embroidery, and knitting evoke how fabric has served as a material for survival, protection, and resilience. The works prompt a deeper understanding of the role and history of women’s cultural work as weavers, embroiderers, and knitters.
This exhibition is presented by the Art Museum and is produced as part of the requirements for the Master of Visual Studies degree in Curatorial Studies at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto.
