The programme will be once again, eclectic and with a larger scale, centred around activities and events of international dimension, having in textile the main element of reference in the reflection, research, and artistic creation. The programme also reflects the development of partnerships and connections with other territories of textile culture, and fundamentally a place of gathering and debate about Contemporary Textile Art. And in these 10 years of existence, also of celebration.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION
The International Exhibition includes 58 works by 54 artists, (33 countries), selected by an international jury from a call.
A portrait of the creation in contemporary textile art on the national and international scene with artworks by artists from five continents.

MAHAMA
Invited Artist
Artistic interventions in public space by renowned Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama. The design and production of the project will be carried out in context for Contextile 2022, having as reference the concept and framework of the biennial.
Ibrahim Mahama uses the transformation of materials to explore themes such as commodities and primary goods, trade, migration, globalization and economic exchanges. Often made in collaboration with others, his large-scale installations employ materials collected from urban environments, such as scraps of wood or jute bags that are sewn together and placed on architectural structures.

Exhibition
The exhibition will be the prelude to the III Iberian Encounters of Contemporary Textile Art and will bring together the work of Rosa Godinho on the Portuguese side and Aurèlia Muñoz on the Spanish side. Two artists with a long career and widely recognized in the context of contemporary Iberian and international textile art.
Using ancestral techniques linked to textiles such as the construction of textile planes through knots and weaving tapestries, their works expand the traditional scope of sculpture and establish a dialogue from the contemporary.
