Initiated by BeCraft, in collaboration with the City of Mons and Les Drapiers, and curated by Denise Biernaux, the exhibition brings together 30 contemporary Belgian artists around a single medium, textile. With more than 60 works, ranging from specific productions to recent and old works, Textilités offers a wide panorama of contemporary Belgian creation.
