The Triennial is a major institutional platform dedicated to contemporary textile, fiber, and expanded material-based practices.
America250 marks 250 years since the founding narratives of the United States—an anniversary that invites not celebration, but critical reflection. Through textile and fiber practices, the Miami Fiber Triennial 2026 examines how the American project has been built, repaired, controlled, protected, and resisted through material systems such as labor, migration, industry, domesticity, extraction, and care.
Textile becomes a lens through which America is read not as a singular history, but as a layered fabric—woven from multiple temporalities, geographies, bodies, and lived experiences.
In addition to exhibitions, the Triennial will feature a Didactic Room, hosting workshops, talks, and educational programs, alongside a curated program of film screenings addressing textile histories, labor, and material culture within the American context.
