Artist Talk: Kyle Denman

October 28, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm PDT

PSU Textile Arts and Parallax Art Center welcome Kyle Denman to discuss his work intersecting fashion design with social justice.

PSU Textile Arts welcomes Kyle Denman, a designer whose mission is to create social change, share cultural narratives, and humanize the experiences of underserved communities. Denman teaches fashion design and art to at-promise youth in Los Angeles, California. Many of his students have experienced trauma, such as trafficking, homelessness, gang violence, incarceration, domestic violence, and substance abuse. In this talk, Kyle discusses his practice and the work he has featured in Parallax Art Center‘s exhibition CLOTH, Construct, CULTURE: fashion builds a story.

This is a free event that will be live-streamed for participants who cannot attend in person.

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.
