Multidisciplinary artists Brigid McLeer and Hetain Patel join Crafts editor Debika Ray to discuss how their respective work addresses the complexities of the textile industry, and the impact it is having on labourers across the globe.
This talk was the third of four talks during the Stories of Cotton symposium: a half-day event on 2 December 2022, supported by the Bagri Foundation. You can watch all four talks here.
The symposium delved into the themes underpinning the exhibition Cotton: labour, land and body at the Crafts Council Gallery.
