We invite proposals for presentations on music-fibre arts intersections for a symposium that forms part of a 3-day festival, Music, Craft, and the Fibre Arts: Textures in Conversation, to be held at Western University in London, Ontario (Canada), September 18–20, 2026.
Our 3-day festival-symposium Music, Craft, and the Fibre Arts: Textures in Conversation will bring together visual artists, crafters, musicians, and scholars for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange focused on how the disciplines of music, crafting, and the fibre arts speak to one another. The event will feature performances and community crafting activities alongside a 2-day academic symposium. This will facilitate conversation not only amongst an interdisciplinary group of scholars, but also with a group of North American artists who consider the fibre arts and music in tandem.
