Radical Textiles, the home-grown summer blockbuster at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA until 30 March 2025) is ebullient, celebratory, rewarding and responds to a rapidly growing interest: over the past two decades, textiles as an artistic medium, and textile practices as forms of cultural expression, have become increasingly important in contemporary art museums and exhibitions, part of an explosion of artistic media that speaks to women’s lives and work, and to subcultural energies. In short, this show is timely.
