Parallel Threads: Entangled Ends is an immersive art installation exploring the senescence of the textile industry in Ipswich, Australia, 1960s-1990s alongside the analogous demise of the textile industry in New England, USA, forming parallel paths on opposite sides of the world. Mill closures were a global phenomenon. This bi-national exhibition tells stories of loss for the workers and their communities through historical research and contemporary art making, it also addresses the relationship between the historical significance of the mills and contemporary use of these buildings.
