Due to the ongoing Covid-19 Crisis, exhibitions and related events have been canceled and closed around the world. A growing number of museums and galleries have started sharing their current and many previous exhibitions using various online formats. We want to share some of the virtual textile-related events and exhibitions that we can all visit from home. As we continue practicing social distancing and adjusting to the ever-changing current landscape, we hope these virtual exhibitions and events provide a brief retreat until we can enjoy them in person together again.
