SUMMARY:Project Threadways Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, Project Threadways has hosted annual symposia exploring the intersections of design\, art\, making\, power\, labor\, and community. Each gathering has expanded on a central inquiry: how can making—especially through design and textiles—help us better understand the social\, economic\, and environmental systems we live within? \nThe 2026 Project Threadways Symposium continues this exploration through the theme of Regeneration. Presentations\, workshops & exhibitions center cotton\, from soil to shelf to symbol—who grows it\, how it is nurtured\, who benefits in the global marketplace & its generational legacy. Speakers explore power & representation in the supply chain\, connect craft & culture and showcase pioneers who are restoring health & humanity to the world’s most ubiquitous fiber. \nRegeneration reflects the core values of Project Threadways: slowness as care\, sustainability as origin and education as liberation. It reckons with the harms of industrialized and extractive systems\, offering repair through circularity\, agency & authorship. \nRegistration is still open\, and seating is limited. A waiting list will be available once capacity is reached.

SUMMARY:“Echoes of the Forks of Cypress”
DESCRIPTION:Frederick Murphy is the founder of History Before Us\, a project that aims to capture\, preserve & advocate for influential history. His film “Echoes of the Forks of Cypress” follows his own research to trace his ancestry back to the Forks of Cypress\, in Florence\, and the journey of both Black and white descendants as they reckon with their shared past to consider a healing path forward.⁠⁠As part of the 2026 Symposium that MSNHA helps sponsor\, Project Threadways will partner with Florence Arts and Museums to stage a screening of “Echoes of the Forks of Cypress.” After the film\, Florence Arts & Museums Director Brian Murphy will lead a panel conversation with Frederick Murphy and three other descendants of the Forks of Cypress: Curtis Flowers\, Tamisha Sales and Karen Curry. ⁠⁠⁠This event is free and open to the public.
