About the work
Textiles, Identity and Innovation: In Touch (ISBN 9781000093230) is a provocative exploration of how fabric, craft, and cultural meaning intertwine, pushing the boundaries between material practice and social reflection. The book examines how textiles shape personal and collective identities across disciplines, from design to anthropology, while highlighting the innovative processes that keep traditional techniques alive in contemporary contexts.
Summary
Through a series of case studies, visual analyses, and theoretical essays, the book traces textiles from raw fiber to finished artifact, revealing how touch, texture, and transparency influence perception and relation. It investigates how identities are negotiated in studios, ateliers, and communities, and how cutting-edge technologies coexist with hand skills to generate novel forms of expression. Readers encounter stories of collaboration, ethics, sustainability, and the politics of material choices that define modern textile practice.
About the authors
Gianni Montagna and Cristina Carvalho bring complementary perspectives from design, art history, and cultural studies, weaving together scholarship and practice. Montagna offers a critical lens on materiality and innovation, while Carvalho foregrounds ethnographic insight and the social life of objects, creating a dialogue that spans laboratories, workshops, and archives. Their collaborative approach synthesizes theory with hands-on investigation, producing a richly textured examination of textiles as a dynamic medium.
In brief
The book centers on how textiles carry identity, enable innovation, and connect disparate worlds through tactile engagement and imaginative rigor.
