Elegante batente de porta em forma de mão, feito de latão dourado polido, instalado numa porta de madeira escura em Ciudad Rodrigo, Espanha. Este tipo de aldrava, comum na arquitetura tradicional ibérica desde o século XVIII, representa a "mão de Fátima" ou "hamsa", um símbolo com raízes no Norte de África, adotado nas tradições muçulmana, judaica e cristã na Península Ibérica. Ciudad Rodrigo, uma cidade histórica fortificada na província de Salamanca, conserva muitos desses elementos decorativos que refletem a influência multicultural da região. Além da sua função prática, estes batentes eram também símbolos de estatuto social e proteção espiritual para as casas, em que a mão frequentemente simboliza a figura feminina como guardiã do lar. Modelos semelhantes continuam a ser procurados para portas restauradas e edifícios históricos, evocando práticas e estéticas de outros tempos.

 

A sleek, hand-shaped door knocker, crafted from polished golden brass, graces a dark wooden door in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain, exuding a sense of elegance and refinement. This intricate door knocker, a staple in traditional Iberian architecture since the 18th century, embodies the 'Hand of Fatima' or 'Hamsa', a symbol with deep roots in North Africa, embraced by Muslim, Jewish, and Christian traditions in the Iberian Peninsula. Ciudad Rodrigo, a historic fortified city nestled in the heart of Salamanca province, boasts a treasure trove of decorative elements that embody the region's rich multicultural tapestry. Beyond their practical purpose, these knockers were also symbols of social status and spiritual protection for homes, where the hand often embodies the female figure as a guardian of the hearth. Similar designs continue to be sought after for restored doors and historic buildings, evoking the charm of bygone eras and the beauty of time-honored craftsmanship.

Em primeiro plano, sepulturas antropomórficas escavadas na rocha, vestígios de um antigo cemitério medieval, refletindo práticas funerárias medievais ligadas ao templo. A disposição das sepulturas junto à igreja indica a importância religiosa do local e a crença na proximidade do sagrado como fator de proteção espiritual.

Faith cannot develop through force - it must blossom within as a result of one's own experience. It is beneficial to find a religious or spiritual path that suits you, and to develop faith in that.

Gibson draws on his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage and the Native American women in his family whose textile work sustained them. These four works were partly inspired by garments worn by dancers in Native American powwow ceremonies, particularly those worn by the Northern Paiute people as spiritual protection in the pacifist Ghost Dance movement of the late nineteenth century. They also incorporate contemporary references: the phrase ‘People Like Us’ derives from a 1965 print by artist and nun Sister Corita Kent, while ‘We Play Endlessly’ pays homage to Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós. Gibson embraces hybridity, seeing his practice as ‘a mash-up of intertribal aesthetics’ in resistance to essentialist understandings of Indigeneity. Gibson links overcoming his rejection of craft as a student to coming to terms with his sexuality as a gay man. He highlights ‘the nonbinary gender roles found in many indigenous cultures’ and his garments are deliberately ungendered. Vibrating with colour, texture and animated potential, they have previously been installed hanging in procession-like formations, as shown here, or activated by performers.*

Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art

(February – May 2024)

 

Textiles are vital to our lives. We are swaddled in them when we’re born, we wrap our bodies in them every day, and we’re shrouded in them when we die.

What does it mean to imagine a needle, a loom or a garment as a tool of resistance? How can textiles unpack, question, unspool, unravel and therefore reimagine the world around us?

Since the 1960s, textiles have become increasingly present in artistic practices for subversive ends. This is significant as the medium has been historically undervalued within the hierarchies of Western art history. Textiles have been considered ‘craft’ in opposition to definitions of ‘fine art’, gendered as feminine and marginalised by scholars and the art market. The 50 international artists in this show challenge these classifications, harnessing the medium to speak powerfully about intimate, everyday stories as well as wider socio-political narratives, teasing out these entangled concerns through a stitch, a knot, a braid, through the warp and the weft. These artists defy traditional expectations of textiles, embracing abstraction or figuration to push the boundaries of the medium. They draw on its material history to reveal ideas relating to gender, labour, value, ecology, ancestral knowledge, and histories of oppression, extraction and trade.

Rather than dictating a chronological history of fibre art, the exhibition is organised in thematic dialogues between artists — across both generations and geographies — to explore how artists have embraced textiles to critique or push up against regimes of power. Some artists work alone with solitary, near-meditative practices, while others reflect the shared approach that the medium often invites, working with collaborators in acts of community and solidarity. Spanning intimate hand-crafted pieces to large-scale sculptural installations, these artworks communicate multi-layered stories about lived experience, invoking the vital issues embedded in fibre and thread.
