Memory and Myth, SDA’s 2026 International Exhibition in Print

Memory and Myth considers artistic practice as a site for storytelling: where lived experience, inherited knowledge and imagined worlds converge through creativity and the skill of the maker. Memory, whether personal, familial, or collective, is rarely fixed or complete. Myth is not only expressed through folklore or a personal narrative, but also as a way of understanding the world. Memory and myth both shift through repetition, embellishment, omission and care. In fiber art practices, these processes become visible through material, surface pattern and labor. Memory and Myth seeks work that engages textiles—in its many forms—to hold memories and share stories.
