Abstract

The article discusses the exhibition "Queer Threads" curated by John Chaich at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. The exhibition showcases the work of 35 artists who explore the complexities of queer identity and life through fiber-based arts practices. The artworks range from joyfully tacky and irreverent pieces to more abstract and philosophical contemplations. The exhibition challenges traditional notions of craft and highlights the intersection of technology and textiles. It aims to celebrate queer identity and serve as a mode of political resistance in the face of legislative attacks on the queer community. [Extracted from the article]
