Abstract or Description

'TECHSTYLE Series' is a textile focused programme which aims to explore technology in arts and culture, and its relation to the production of subjectivities and social relations. In this second edition, internationally renowned artists, designers, textile specialists, curators, scholars and cultural practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and expertise will gather in Hong Kong to discuss textile intervention to communities within contemporary living, exploring the value and impact that textiles, and its related production, can bring to the neighbourhoods. This programme offers a platform to exchange the challenges in energising and reactivating communities through arts and textiles.

This is the publication of CHAT ’s 2018 Discussion Forum, a cross-disciplinary platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas on textile, arts and contemporary society through multiple lenses.

For this gathering, CHAT invited 9 participants to discuss how artists, designers, academics, entrepreneurs and citizens play crucial roles in activating public space using textiles as a tool.
