An exhibition at the Constance Howard Gallery curated by Gabriela Nicolescu, Alexandra Urdea and Magda Buchczyk.

As part of the Goldsmiths Graduate Festival, Constance Howard Gallery hosts a unique exhibition of the Goldsmiths Textile Collection and the Lloyd Collection of east European materials. This collaborative project brings together anthropologists and artists to turn the gallery into a lab for experimenting with ‘folklore’. We have joined forces in rethinking the archive as an open resource and a site of contestation. The value embedded in folk objects is questioned as we experiment with textures and patterns.

You can follow three paths inside the space of the gallery. One uses details from the archive, in the form of photographs, inviting the possibility of re-assembling the archive. A separate project brings into the gallery objects that sit in tension with the space of the archive. A third perspective uses the folk pattern as a springboard for innovation and forgery.

We invite everyone interested in material culture, folklore, music, Eastern Europe, fabrics or archives to visit the gallery, attend the events and make playful connections between the threads.
