​​The upcoming exhibition, "I Sewed My Way Through the Dark: Contemporary Textile Art" will be specifically designed in terms of artwork, live narration, and layout, to accommodate the visually impaired and sighted guests interested in entering into their world. We are engaging textile artists whose works will offer sensory experiences, such as tactile, acoustic, or olfactory sensations. Our partners are the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired (UICI) and the experienced storytellers from the Association "Friends of the Civic Library of Biella".

The history of Biella is deeply rooted in the textile tradition and we owe a generous thanks to our technical partner, textile manufacturer Vitale Barberis Canonico, who has generously donated wool cloth that will be used by the artists in the exhibition.

Furthermore, this exhibition will be in conjunction with the Gli Eroici Furori gallery in Milan.
