The Thread of The Wish
The Thread of the Wish is a group exhibition that explores weaving and other interlace textile practices, examining their roles in storytelling, particularly within racialized and religiously diverse communities.
The exhibition title, drawn from Sigmund Freud’s essay on creativity, reflects how the past and future are connected by the thread of desire, including desire for a better world, to heal from harm, and to understand the past.
Textiles are often closely connected with our bodies, providing shelter, comfort, and warmth, while also telegraphing our identities through the woven designs that adorn our bodies and living spaces. Fingers weave together many threads, speaking of the intertwined nature of our lives and the labour of expressing an identity.
