Gesprächsstoff mit Alex Amir Khan | IfTF - Institut für Textiles Forschen, Basel

A series of talks in collaboration with LOOM – Raum für Gewebe

Gesprächsstoff is an ongoing event series organised in cooperation with Loom – Raum für Gewebe, inviting guests to explore and discuss textile craftsmanship from multiple perspectives.

During his 2022/23 studio residency in Mexico, designer Alexander Amir Khan researched the coating of textiles with natural latex in order to develop a water-repellent, multi-purpose material. In collaboration with Atelier Mangas el Compita (Veracruz, Mexico), he created a diverse catalogue of material samples and several accessory prototypes.

In this session, Alexander will share insights into his research on this remarkable, over 3,000-year-old craft and reflect on its potential applications in our contemporary context.
