We Are Our Own Weavers

October 5-October 20

Pablo V. Cazares uses textile processes as a tool to understand and relay his experience as a trans, mixed-race, neurodiverse artist.

At the intersection of overlapping identities, Pablo V. Cazares is an interdisciplinary artist who uses textile techniques and processes as a tool to understand and relay his experiences. We Are Our Own Weavers explores themes of compartmentalization, communication, and autonomy. From surprising objects entrapped within weavings to experimental looms made out of typewriters, found objects and improvised techniques spin a narrative of conflict, loss, and self-determination.
Reception is Thursday, October 5th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.
Gallery hours are Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm.

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.
