Showcasing the works of 8 talented artists with Asian backgrounds
The ANTEPRIMA x CHAT Contemporary Textile Art Prize aims to encourage and promote artists with Asian connections who offer new insights into textile materials, techniques and history.
Asia is home to rich textile traditions. Its textile art is generally seen as an applied art, and textile artists are often equated with weavers, tailors or knitters. However, Asian artists increasingly turn to textiles to honour traditional craftsmanship while addressing historical narratives and current global urgencies, such as pollution and waste, pioneering a new dimension of textile art.
This exhibition showcases the works of the finalists. While the winner was selected by an international jury, visitors are invited to vote for their favourite artwork in the Audience Prize throughout the exhibition period.
