PROJECT THREADWAYS

Project Threadways is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that records, studies, and explores the history and impact of textiles.

 

We seek to understand the impact that textiles and their creation—from raw material to finished good—had on our local community, the American south, the nation, and the world—connecting the people, places, and materials.

WE TELL UNTOLD STORIES.

We share stories and collect data to tell the larger story of textile culture in the South, and to create a future for the industry based on mutual success.

WE SEEK TO COLLABORATE.

We will work with organization that share our goals and visions and can help further our project.

WE HAVE NO AGENDA BUT THE TRUTH.

We are proud of our region but aware of the pain that surrounds the research we undertake. It is our responsibility to tell all truths, not just the convenient ones.

We commit to responsible practices.

We carry out this work with integrity, respect, and responsible environmental practices.

MATERIAL CULTURE

Material culture is defined as the aggregate of physical artifacts or objects used by a society. 

 

We envision a healthier future in which textiles are an integral part of growing communities

and where material culture can be a source of reconciliation and communal growth.
