This exciting journal brings together research in an innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all those who share a multifaceted view of textiles within an expanded field. Representing a dynamic and wide-ranging set of critical practices, it provides a platform for points of departure between art and craft; gender and identity; cloth, body and architecture; labor and technology; techno-design and practice--all situated within the broader contexts of material and visual culture. Winner of the ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best New Journal 2005.
