Please join us on Saturday, September 5th for a Curatorial Walkthrough of The Cold Stitch by Ragna Froda, Co-curator and Director of New York Textile Month. ABOUT THE COLD STITCH In the Nordic countries, stitching has long been more than decoration or domestic craft. It is a necessity, a form of storytelling, survival, memory, and care. In landscapes shaped by cold climates and long winters, textiles have become vessels of warmth, protection, repair, and continuity, carrying traces of everyday life and cultural identity across generations.
