WARDROBE CRISIS with Clare Press Tapestry! Embroidery! Quilting! Tailoring! Can Textiles Change the World? You Bet Season 10, Ep. 227 Friday, December 6, 2024 From Victor & Rolf's "Get Mean" frock through Jordan Gogos's radical upcycling projects to Paul McCann's "Sovereignty Never Ceded" gown, certain items of clothing speak loudly - with intention - about the times we find ourselves in. Let's not forget the long traditions of tapestry-making, quilting, embroidery, and the newer but related concepts of stitch-n-bitch craftivism. Cloth can be a radical medium. You might call it soft power, for its undeniable tactility - but don't mistake soft for weak.
