DESCRIPTION:A tapestry is a coming together of people or things\, usually
  thread\, to make an intricate whole. This exhibition shows the breadth 
 of the textiles at the Whitworth that are made with this method of weavi
 ng. Morris and Co.\, Grayson Perry\, Marta Rogoyska and Eduardo Paolozzi
  hangings sit alongside thick kelims from Central Asia\, fine silk kesi 
 from China and early fragments from Peru and Egypt: the first known civi
 lisations to have made tapestries. Sacrifice and celebration\, hunting a
 nd the hunted\, female ideologies and class\, politics and taste are thr
 eaded through the many versions of this global technique.\n\nA large mur
 al in this space\, commissioned by the Whitworth from Ibukun Baldwin\, t
 ells us a little about how tapestries are made. Baldwin is a multidiscip
 linary artist and founder of ethical fashion and textiles company Bukky 
 Baldwin\, situated in the Whitworth Work Shop. The company offers traini
 ng and opportunities to marginalised communities\, gathering people to m
 ake things together at the Whitworth.\n\n12 October 2019 – 1 March 2020\
