Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

The exhibition LITMUS: Environmental Legacies of Cotton was created by artists and interdisciplinary researchers for the British Textile Biennial 2023. In this essay we introduce the Cottonopolis Collective and LITMUS, asking what histories can be made visible, and what new knowledges might be created in the process of collecting materials, handling, analysing and making textiles together.
