DIALOGUES - Creating New Textile Futures @ Dipoli

DIALOGUES presents textiles both as a medium for creativity, design, technology and innovation and as a bridge between disciplines and schools at Aalto University. The many challenges facing the textile and fashion industries are addressed in this exhibition through different perspectives and expressions, ranging from design engineering research projects to art installations.

The exhibition presents creative design work, artistic exploration, material solutions and design pedagogy demonstrating the multitude of textile work across disciplines at Aalto University. DIALOGUES - Creating New Textile Futures at Dipoli Gallery features work from Aalto ARTS, AaltoSCI, AaltoCHEM, AaltoENG and AaltoELEC.

This exhibition continues the series DIALOGUES, presenting textiles as a medium for future solutions. DIALOGUES launched in New York in November 2022 with a joint exhibition and seminar by Aalto University and Parsons - The New School.
