Social history is found in the objects that remain although for many it’s hard for museums to display them. Jo’s talk will explore some of the hidden textile gems of The Wilson and the social history we can discover from their research.

Jo Teague is a freelance community artist and curator who works with a variety of organisations to support communities to explore their culture and heritage through creative textile projects. Her passion for the history of textiles is infectious, opening up conversations about the fabrics that touch our lives every day. She is currently working with Voices Gloucester to curate and grow the successful Threads programme into an annual event.
