Lynn Setterington, Senior Lecturer in Textiles in Practice at Manchester School of Art, is doing a project on Radical Locks.
The project will be launching on Friday 8th March
Radical Locks is a stitch-based initiative celebrating the women of Tameside. This diaphanous hand-sewn textile is a visual and tactile marker of identity, one that is both inclusive and unexpected. By entrapping wisps of hair within the cloth, the project pays homage to diversity of women in the borough today who are literally and metaphorically intertwined within the tactile outcome. The exquisite cloth highlights too in its use of text the work of a local, overlooked suffragette, Hannah Mitchell.
The project will be launching on Friday 8th March. See details of the launch event here.
