"Beauty & Splendor" Curated by Joyous R. Pierce

NARS Foundation, Main Gallery
201 46th St studio 4fl, Brooklyn, NY 11220


Opening Reception: Friday, October 17, 6-9pm

"Beauty & Splendor is a group exhibition celebrating the work of textile artists based in South Brooklyn. Thematically centering sustainable innovation, abstraction, and neo-traditional approaches, Beauty & Splendor invites artists who are reshaping the role of textiles in contemporary art and cultural practice, artists who radically reimagine textile as a site of beauty, sustainable innovation, technical mastery, and cutting-edge creative narrative. From critiques of gendered labor to ecological futurism, from ritual stitchwork to speculative materiality, we welcome those who treat textile as language, thread as voice, and pattern as a technology of both memory and possibility.

Beauty & Splendor is a relational project: one where beauty, memory, and materiality converge to celebrate textile practice and posits⸻How do we actively reroute the inherited patterns, gendered, colonial, institutional, industrial within textile arts? How do we weave kinship across communities, histories, and emergent futures? Additionally, intentionally timed to take place during Indigenous Peoples’ Month, the exhibition extends a special invitation to artists from ALAANA communities, African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American, as well as those who identify as queer, trans, nonbinary, and/or from immigrant and diasporic backgrounds."
