INTERSECTIONS is a one-day conference with exhibition of work organised by the Textile Design Research Group[1] at Loughborough University exploring collaborations in textile design research to be held at Loughborough University in London on 13 September 2017.
INTERSECTIONS is interested in case studies which reveal unusual connections and cross- or interdisciplinary collaborations furthering research in the field of textiles and textile design. How are these initiated? What makes a successful collaboration leading to innovative research? What are the issues? Why collaborate?
Topics may include:
· Collaborations with society, industry, institutions
· SMART, functional, wearable, interactive textiles
· Materials
· Processes
· Integrated digital practice
· Craft, hands-on design, hand processes
· Emerging technologies
· Applied textile thinking
· Well-being
· Sustainability
The exhibition will show work which demonstrates textile design research through collaboration and cross/interdisciplinary practice. This could be practice resulting from collaboration, a collection of research samples illustrating a conference submission or collaborative research.
Key dates:
· Deadline for submission of full papers 31 May 2017
· Deadline for exhibition proposals 31 May 2017
· Deadline for submission of exhibition work 31 August 2017
