Fabric Culture Village - A City for Childcare

Undated

Medium:

Digital print on paper

Dimension:

24 x 36 in

This drawing envisions a city designed around childcare, leveraging fabric production as a means of fostering cultural identity, economic sustainability, and environmental consciousness. The piece depicts interconnected spaces such as childcare centers, community hubs, and textile factories, focusing on the role of fabric both as a sensory tool for children and as a medium for cultural expression. Dyed fabrics are used symbolically within the drawing to represent the tactile engagement of children with their surroundings.

The design primarily caters to Chinese and Asian immigrant communities, addressing how they preserve their cultural heritage while embracing their new environment. This work responds to the exhibition’s theme by juxtaposing nostalgia for traditional craft, such as fabric dyeing, with forward-looking urban and community planning. It reflects on the tension between preserving the past and navigating a future shaped by technology.

Space Requirements: The drawing requires wall space for display, with standard framing and lighting to highlight the details of the ink and fabric elements. No additional technical support is needed.
