Art and Activism

October 11, 2020 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm PDT

Social Justice Sewing Academy activist workshops work with individuals in the community to engage in activism through textile art.

Social Justice Sewing Academy activist workshops work with individuals in the community to engage in activism through the use of textile art. Our workshops consist of a short Social Justice Lesson and group conversation centered around various inequalities. Workshop participants will create an art block from fabric on the societal issue of their choice. The block will later be sewn down and quilted into a larger community art piece by SJSA volunteers.

This workshop will have a follow up event October 10/17 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
