Emulate, Recreate, Translate
SDA’s 2025 International Exhibition in Print
“It is the task of the translator to release in his own language that pure language that is under the spell of another, to liberate the language imprisoned in a work in his re-creation of that work.” –Walter Benjamin
In recent years, fiber’s boundaries have been pushed to their limits like never before. The tenth annual International Exhibition in Print celebrates fiber’s potential to emulate, recreate, and translate other qualities and contexts.
Some themes that expand translation as a material practice-
- Work that explores translation of language, metaphor, or concept in the medium of fiber.
- Work that emulates qualities of other materials.
- Work that illustrates fundamental aspects of fiber with thought-provoking reflections on other matter and material.
- Work that bridges cultural gaps, encouraging people from diverse backgrounds to appreciate and engage with each other.
The resulting Exhibition in Print will focus on translations and the “release” of limited understandings of what fiber can become. We are looking for poetic creations that embody fiber’s power to communicate through and beyond its materiality.
