What does it mean to be a curator who writes, and more specifically, how can curators write about textiles? This publication steps outside the typical exhibition catalogue framework to occupy "the space between literature and criticism." The Community of Writers was established to provide time and space to retreat from external opinions and demands, allowing curiosity and the joy of writing to drive the process. This book was realized under the auspices of Interweaving Structures: Fabric as Material, Method, and Message, through a collaboration between the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design at the University of Bergen and the Central Museum of Textiles in Lodz. These partners bring strong specializations: the museum is a guardian of material textile traditions and art in Poland, while the faculty has a robust tradition in textile art and offers Norway's only education program for curators.
