IMPACTFUL: Climate Change affects all of us, including weavers.

As the changing global environment has led to deeper discussions regarding climate change, artists are increasingly bringing those reflections to their work. Beginning this Wednesday, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles’ new exhibit features striking tapestry works that clearly showcase the detrimental effects of climate change across the planet. Curated by renowned local artists Deborah Corsini and Alex Friedman, the work stitches together weavers from across the West Coast—all members of Tapestry Weavers West—and features more than 25 artists speaking to one of the most important issues facing us today.
