Lunds konsthall has the pleasure to present Social Fabric, an exhibition organised by Iniva (Institute for International Visual Art) in London that uses textiles to explore colonial history, international trade, labour and militant politics. In the 19th century Karl Marx gave an account of the cotton trade, tracking fifty years of boom and bust and the effects this had on workers in Britain and its colonies. This exhibition cross-references different accounts of textile history, focusing on works by the two contemporary artists Alice Creischer and Sudhir Patwardhan, which are presented alongside an extensive range of recent and historical archival material.
