Description
Explore textile responses to people's experiences of violence and conflict across the world in the Threads of Empowerment: Conflict Textiles' International Journey exhibition at the Ulster Museum.
People across the world have communicated their experiences of violence and conflict, human rights violations, poverty, oppression and environmental issues through the form of textile narrative.
The result is a visual record and a form of artistic expression based on personal, and often very poignant testimonies.
This collaborative exhibition will explore the strengths and highlights of the Conflict Textiles collection - its history, international diversity and the important themes it addresses.

- It's free to visit and no booking is necessary.
