In a moment when the textile industry is fueled by exploited overseas labor, toxic chemicals, and artificial intelligence over craft, we ask: what is the future of textiles? Guest edited by Natalie Chanin, this issue asks how we might imagine a progressive way forward for textiles in the United States, with attention to sustainability, craft preservation, cultural heritage, justice and equity, entrepreneurship, and global economics.
