Silkworm Collective are a group of five women artists based in London, whose works engage with memory, land, grief, femininity, and spirituality via textile and installation. Formed with an emphasis on artistic support and accessibility, the collective focuses on community engagement and education. They regularly run workshops and events employing a diverse range of textile-based techniques, celebrating the ambition of a medium once dismissed as ‘women’s work;’ Silkworm embraces textile craft for its materiality, tradition, strength, fragility, and source of community.
The collective has organised workshops for Miiro Hotels, Feather and Black, Skinners’ Academy, John Stainer Primary, A Particular Reality, Greenwich and Woolwich Libraries, Teaspoon Projects, Gillian Jason Gallery, Thames-Side Studios Gallery, Wapping Open Studios, Synonym Lab, and Constance Howard Gallery.
They are presently residents at Anomalous Social Club (ASC), previously held a residency at the Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, and have previously shown at A.P.T. Gallery.
