Mama Projects New York · Chelsea
Exhibition on view: May 14, 2026 - Jun 11, 2026

The exhibition takes an interdisciplinary approach to textiles, highlighting their influence on contemporary art and their role in social, cultural, and political dialogues. By tracing connections between textiles, the body, and the environment, Syntax of a thread examines how textiles reflect the human condition and convey personal and collective narratives, including themes of identity, memory, care, and cultural heritage.
