This program invites Fi25 artist Akudzwe Elsie Chiwa, whose practices explore identity, storytelling, and ancestral knowledge through craft and material traditions for a conversation. Through this dialogue, the goal is to uncover the intersections in the artist’s approaches, the role of craft as an archive, and how this practice serves as acts of reclamation and cultural continuity—to bridge past and present, while honoring generational traditions.

Fiberart International is a triennial exhibition that seeks to exhibit the best of contemporary art and invites submissions that reflect a wide range of works related to the fiber medium. The exhibition is recognized around the world as a benchmark that documents trends and innovations in the field. The 25th edition of the Fiberart International is co-organized by Brew House Arts and Contemporary Craft, with artwork on exhibition at both locations.
