This ambitious exhibition will showcase an experimental, large-scale, collaborative art installation, made with 100% waste, existing second-hand or biodegradable materials.
This collaboration between 14 seam collective artists is an ambitious project which will highlight the issues surrounding textile waste and care for the environment.
The Warped and Wasted exhibition will be supported by Textile Talks, a one-day symposium on Friday 3 October 2025, both online and in-person. seam collective invites the public and their peers in the fields of textiles, visual arts and sustainability to join the conversation as they, and invited speakers, discuss issues of textiles and sustainability and add to the critical dialogue around sustainable arts practices locally, nationally and internationally.
This project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and has been made possible by the many individuals who donated to the seam collective Crowdfunder.
Warped and Wasted will be an inspiring experience, which will provoke thought, conversation and action around the complex issues of textiles, sustainable art practices and the climate emergency.
