The PTXM festival will return in October 2023 to explore the important topic of Mixed Identities.
Belonging neither here nor there, identifying as another, where are all the others? Between bodies, boxes, borders, histories, cultures, and languages how do our mixed identities influence our textiles, practices, and communities?
Highlighting diverse perspectives across a myriad of cultures and generations, we invite you to share your projects, knowledge, experiences, perspectives, and practices. Featuring the power of inclusive grassroots organizing among the vibrant and diverse Portland textile community and beyond, we look forward to having your participation again for PTXM 2023.
Please consider making a direct contribution to help bring our 2023 programming to life, subscribe to our newsletter, and follow us on Instagram for all of the latest news!
