Special Issue of J of Arts and Communities: Stitching Together (Oct 2019)
Website: JAC
Deadline for submissions: 1 October 2019
This special edition of the Journal of Arts and Communities arises from the Stitching Together project, funded by an AHRC research networking grant.

Researchers using participatory textile making activities are gaining rich insights into questions of artistic, scientific, social, material and cultural value.
The aim of this special edition is to provide a collection of reflective case study articles that both document and critically examine methods and approaches to using participatory textile making within diverse research contexts. The Call for Contributions is extended to researchers using participatory textile making practices in research areas including, but not confined to:
The special edition offers an opportunity to reflect on issues including the ethical dimensions of participatory making; the immaterial qualities of making together; possibilities for and challenges to cross-cultural understandings; the making and un-making of boundaries; and the challenges for researchers of documentation and data gathering.
