Read more ✨ link in bio & photos by @leogarbutt ⠀ “Something speaks to us, a sound, a touch, hardness or softness, it catches us and asks us to be formed”– Anni Albers, ‘Material as Metaphor’ (1982)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #weaversofinstagram #textiledesign #textileart #experiments #exhibit #decoratingdissidence #weavingloom #tapestryweaving #quiltsofinstagram #textiletechnology #techwear
Our next featured interview is by @nnennaokore who pays close attention to natural form and materiality as an artist, educator and environmentalist. 🌟 Read the full interview & follow the link in our bio ⠀ “Nnenna has received international acclaim for the ways in which she engages with the environment in her artistic practice. Her abstract sculptures are created using a range of methods; shredding, fraying, twisting, teasing, tying, weaving, stitching, and dyeing are all used to create rich, textured pieces.”⠀ ⠀ #environmentalist #naturalart #crafter #womenartists #environmentalart #naturalmaterials #ceramicart #abstractform #decoratingdissidence
Our special issue ‘Bauhaus Continued’ explores the legacies of the movement. One inspiring architectural contribution comes from @tabilbaoestudio 🌟 Read full post > link in bio 🌟⠀ ⠀ “Using a hands-on approach to communicating ideas means that Bilbao isn’t beholden to the perfect image of a computerised ideal. She uses collage to uphold her collaborative ethos, one that centres dialogue and teaching as important components of any architectural process.”⠀ ⠀⠀ #archidaily #architecturelovers #bauhausdesign #bauhaus100 #architexture #collageart #collage_creatives #collageartwork #decoratingdissidence #arty
How did the work of the weaving workshop get left behind in the story of the Bauhaus? Ellen Brown’s ‘Women of the Bauhaus: Beyond the Warp & Weft’ takes a closer look at the school’s gender politics @emadeleinebrown #bauhaus #bauhaus100 #design #interiordesign #interior #craft #womensart #art #artsandcraft
As part of our #Bauhaus100 issue, @sur_la_lune explores Peckham Pioneer Health Centre’s modernist roots and the experimental health programme that spurred its architecture. Read this & lots more in our latest issue (link in bio)! ⠀ ⠀ Caroline offers a different Bauhaus legacy: “Rather than iconic buildings, perhaps we should be looking to the sites where art and science, technology, bodies and buildings all meet, and where collaboration and community effect change”⠀ ⠀ #archidaily #peckham #bauhausdesign #architecturephotography #historicbuildings #archivephoto #decoratingdissidence

We love @joana_choumali’s embroidered photographs. She recently won the #PrixPictet for her work responding to the aftermath of the 2016 terrorist attack at Grand Bassam beach. Charged, emotional, important work... ✨✨✨ #embroiderer #photoembroidery #embroideryart #crafters #decoratingdissidence #sewistsofinstagram
We were fascinated by @taishani sensuous, fleshy, feminist sci-fi inspired installation but congrats to all four brilliant artists who shared the #turnerprize as a ‘collective statement in the name of commonality, multiplicity and solidarity - in art as in society’
Were huge fans of @_hannah_skinner_’s work and you can catch it @camberwellspace until 14th Dec! Lush, kinetic textile work that sways, moves and ripples. #textiledesign #textileart #kineticart #pastelaesthetic #decoratingdissidence #sculptureart #londonexhibitions #southlondon #artistsoninstagram
We can’t wait to get up close to the Gee’s Bend quilts at @turnercontemporary’s exhibition ‘We Will Walk – Art and Resistance from the American South’ next year! read more about the quilts & their incredible history over on our blog (link in bio)
