British Textile
Biennial (BTB25)

British Textile Biennial (BTB25) is a free festival of contemporary art, commissioning artists and designers from all over the world to make work inspired by the context and legacy of the textile industry in East Lancashire and its global impact, often in the places that created it.

This year the British Textile Biennial explores invention, past, present and future, through indigenous knowledge to space-age technology from the earliest form of shelter, the tent, to space suits and, from plant-based dyes to the first polymers.
