Community Collaboration a Panel Discussion

November 12, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm PST

A panel discussion featuring the four distributed community projects of PTM 2020.

Join us for an engaging discussion between the Community Repair, Ghost Net Landscape: Sea Stories, Sky Exchange, and Interlace: A Community Weaving distributed community projects.

The Distributed Community Projects of PTM 2020 have engaged and energized our community. They have offered connection through safe, socially distanced collaboration and fostered communication about repair and reuse in our textiles, relationships, and communities.

Through storytelling, perspective sharing, and openness, these projects have reminded us of the opportunities for connection, healing, and growth that surround us. This panel will explore the lessons learned, and experiences woven together through community collaboration.

Featuring Brittany Vega of Sky Exchange, Emily Miller, Shere Coleman, and Shelby Silver of Ghost Net Landscape: Sea Stories, Anne Greenwood, Julie Keefe, and Majik Hodges of Albina Green: Community Repair, Dakotah Fitzhugh, and Dana Lynn Louis of Interlace: A Community Weaving Project.

This panel will be hosted by Eli West and moderated by Caleb Sayan of PTM. The panel will last approximately 60 minutes followed by a 30 minute Q&A session.

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.
