TextileX Artist Talk With Terumi Saito

October 25, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm PDT

Join artist Terumi Saito as she discusses her latest series of work and research.

Terumi Saito is an artist and a designer from Shizuoka, Japan currently based in New York City. Initially a graphic designer, Terumi’s background in the visual arts has informed her current focus in Fiber Arts. Much of her work aims to reconcile the dichotomy between the spiritual and the existential by leveraging a textile practice to communicate these sentiments through the fundamental senses of touch and sight. By focusing on these senses, her work underscores the significance inherent to the textile arts by way of its tactile foundation and visual communication. Her practice and research have since developed to incorporate numerous traditions of the textile arts including Peruvian, Guatemalan, American, as well as her own native Japanese. Through this, her work is able to embody a rich intercultural essence that communicates themes both specific and universal. By manifesting these wide-reaching traditions, her art practice inherits a significance that is both familiar and unique.

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.
