RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Shercliff, Emma A1 Twigger Holroyd, AmyYR 2020 T1 Stitching together: Ethical dimensions and innovative approaches to participatory textile making JF Journal of Arts & Communities, VO 11 IS ‘Stitching Together’ Part Two SP 3 OP 11 DO https://doi.org/10.1386/jaac_00011_1 PB Intellect, SN 1757-1944, AB This article, written by the coordinators of the Stitching Together network, introduces a diverse range of case studies that critically discuss participatory textile making activities, complementing a first collection of case studies that was provided in the previous volume of this journal. Drawing on a recent network event and the case studies included in this issue, the article outlines a number of ethical dimensions that arise in participatory textile making activities: first, the challenge of inclusivity; second, the vulnerabilities that arise when space is made for shared learning; third, the issue of communication between facilitators, participants and partners in collaborative projects; and fourth, the ways in which projects and participants are (re)presented in research findings. The theme of innovation is also discussed, with a focus on the participant experience. Looking to the future, the need for further collaborative interrogation of the complex questions raised through participatory textile work is highlighted. A good practice document, created with the input of network members, is highlighted as a potentially useful foundation for continued critical discussion., UL https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/jaac_00011_1
