Joint Ecology

October 5-October 31

Joint Ecology features Native Hawaiian kapa (bark cloth) and works on paper about ecology.

Joint Ecology presents two artists whose works are visually divergent but are both deeply influenced by concepts in ecology, which translates to “a study of home” from the Greek word oikos (“house habitation”) and -logia (“study of”). The facilitator, Lehuauakea, combines traditional techniques of harvest/Kapa making, earth pigments, and iconography with contemporary textiles to create works that speak to modern times.

Shu-Ju Wang will also show prints, artist’s books, and paintings that specifically address climate crises and ongoing amelioration efforts.

The viewing times are Tuesday-Saturday 11:00am-5:30pm, Sunday 11:00am-4:00pm.

An artist talk will take place on October 24th at 11 am at Waterstone Gallery.

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.
