DESCRIPTION:From the Barberini Tapestries to the Bayeux Tapestry\, monume
 ntal textiles in the form of large-scale narrative embroideries\, weavin
 g and tapestries have been used to illustrate contemporary events to bec
 ome enduring material chronicles. Thread Bearing Witness is a major new 
 series of large textiles\, and other works\, to be shown at the Whitwort
 h\, that considers cultural heritage\, refugee displacement and movement
 \, while engaging with individual migrants and their creativity within t
 he wider context of the global refugee crisis.\n\nAlice Kettle is a high
 ly regarded contemporary artist focused upon stitched textiles\, a power
 ful medium through which to explore these themes. Thread Bearing Witness
  represents displacement though the migration of stitches\, using the th
 ree strands of artistic representation\, participation and creative resi
 lience\, testing ways of belonging within a cultural space\, and using t
 extile as a medium of integration\, collective expression and resilience
  to displacement.\n\n\n1 September - 24 February 2019\n\nAlice Kettle\,
