ReGen – to effect a reform, to re-create, revive, reconstitute, restore, make over, form anew.

Since the Western Australian Fibre & Textile Association (WAFTA) was founded in 1995, the not-for-profit organisation has hosted outstanding and engaging exhibitions to promote the work of its members and advance the profile of fibre and textile art more broadly. WAFTA’s 2024 Members’ Exhibition ReGEN, which forms part of IOTA24, is poised to be no exception.

ReGEN is all about renewal, connection, and community; showcasing ideas and personal reflections about what ‘regeneration’ signifies to the WAFTA membership at large.

ReGEN also focuses on the breadth of contemporary applications of traditional textile-making techniques, in ways that engage the tactile, narrative, and transformative potential of cloth, fibres, and threads anew.

Walk-in public workshops and artist talks form part of the ReGEN exhibition. Visit the WAFTA website for details.
