From intimate hand-crafted works to large-scale sculptural installations, this book celebrates the legacies of artists such as Pacita Abad, the arpilleristas, and José Leonilson. Also featured here are works by living artists such as Igshaan Adams, Tracey Emin, and Cecilia Vicuña.\u003cbr\u003eWith new scholarship and beautifully produced imagery, this collection of renowned artists from around the world reveals the extraordinary potential of textiles to confront fixed notions of history, race, gender, sexual expression, and class—and how, ultimately, it can be a powerful force for both resistance and repair.","brand":"River Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Prestel Publishing |  Hardback  |  2024-03-05","offer_id":44663281811711,"sku":"9783791377285","price":73.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_2a8eaf84-bc3c-4183-840e-2a035f710ce3.jpg?v=1704946554","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9783791377285","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
