SUMMARY:A Stitch & Glitch in Time
DESCRIPTION:January 20 – March 12\, 2026\nReception: Thursday\, January 29 from 5:00 – 7:30pm\n \nA Stitch & Glitch in Time brings together thirteen Los Angeles-based artists who use textiles to explore technology\, fashion\, and collective histories. Los Angeles has a long history in textile production\, both for industrial use and artistic expression. The processes and materials utilized by these artists embody this long and complex history – highlighting how textiles can simultaneously be highly personal objects while revealing the larger economic and social circumstances they were created within. \n  \nExhibition Artists: Fafnir Adamites\, Ekta Aggarwal\, Diane Briones Williams\, Lavialle Campbell\, Mimi Haddon\, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia\, Ahree Lee\, Aubrey Longley-Cook\, Kayla Mattes\, Minga Opazo\, Aneesa Shami Zizzo\, Irene Georgia Tsatsos\, and Jenny Yurshansky. \n  \nThis exhibition was curated by Holly Jerger\, CSUN Art Galleries Director. The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Mike Curb College of Arts\, Media\, and Communication and Louise Lewis. Additional support provided by the Instructionally Related Activities Committee and Arts Council for CSUN. \n  \nThis exhibition is part of Handwork 2026\, Craft in America’s nationwide semiquincentennial collaboration showcasing the importance of the handmade and celebrating the diversity of craft that defines America. \n  \nFree Admission
