There are newly commissioned pieces from Michał Jachuła, curator of the Splendour of Polish Textiles, Zachęta, National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Marta Kowalewska, Head of Textiles at the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź, Poland, and Agnieszka Golda, University of Wollongong, Australia. There will interviews and conversations between Marjan Boot and Leisbeth Crommelin, emeritus curators, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, former international students from Poznań Academy of Art in the 1970s, Patricia Leighton (Scotland/USA), Michelle Heon (Quebec/France), and Anna Goebel (Poland).
