COTTON: Global Threads
11 February to 13 May
Although just about everyone on the planet wears an article of cotton each day, the story of cotton is far from every day. It spans centuries and continents, was the catalyst for some of the most important moments in modern history and exposes a multitude of ethical sins. A new exhibition, COTTON: Global Threads will tell this story, giving a global history of the production, consumption and trade in cotton.
Coming soon...
