storytelling through textiles

Storytelling through textiles refers to the practice of conveying narratives, cultural histories, and emotions through fabric and textile art. This can be seen in techniques like embroidery, weaving, or fabric printing, where patterns, colors, and symbols reflect personal stories, social messages, or cultural traditions. Textiles can depict historical events, folklore, or community values, transforming garments, quilts, and tapestries into visual narratives. Each piece not only serves a practical purpose but also carries deeper meanings, making textiles a rich medium for storytelling across cultures and generations.
