"M(other) Tongue" brings together artists who use textile to examine the interconnected experiences of migration, displacement, and cultural inheritance. Drawing on textile traditions rooted in women’s domestic and communal practices, the works approach stitching, weaving, and dyeing as forms of mark making; methods of carrying ancestral stories across borders and generations. In "M(other) Tongue," cloth becomes both archive and language, expressing the tensions of uprooting and the desire to remain connected to one’s past.
