Project summary

BIEN Textile Art Biennial aims to establish the Portuguese artist Patrícia Geraldes as a prominent figure in the realm of textile, fiber, land, and environmental art, utilizing slow art methods. Partner festivals explore innovative ways of combining cultural heritage, the natural world, and communities of female textile artists and artisans. While fostering the female experience and the empowerment and healing potential of textile crafting, the project encourages meaningful interactions with local communities.
