New feature articles three times a month explore topics ranging from where Canadian yarn comes from to what happens to a quilt when we discard it to how we can make sure the clothes we make fit us well, no matter our measurements.
Digits & Threads is exclusively about Canadian art and craft.
Indigenous communities hold vast fibre- and textile knowledge and have rich traditions of craft, art and stewardship; we work to establish and nurture relationships with Indigenous makers and writers.
Fibre- and textile-based works, like all things, are made within a greater context. We shine light on the interconnectedness of agriculture, manufacturing, consumption and disposal; of sustainability, social and economic justice, accessibility, diversity and inclusivity.
