Nordic Textile Meeting in Stockholm/Tallinn 2026 – Making Loops

© Elisabeth Brenner Remberg "Network"

Nordic Textile Art is making a loop – Stockholm – Tallinn – Stockholm

A Nordic/Baltic textile conference with a full program that starts in Stockholm, continues on the boat over to Tallinn, where it continues to fill up for three days and ends on the boat back to Stockholm.

Annual meetings are organized circulating in the Nordic countries with thematic program content with activities to create mobility with new forums for textile art. It is called Nordic Textile Meeting because the meeting is the most important aspect. In 2026, it is time for Sweden to host the event. Good contacts with artists from Estonia and the Estonian Textile Artists' Association have been established. This year, therefore the aim is to strengthen and expand the networks and make a loop to Estonia.

Making Loops
Loop, a common term in textile techniques: loop, stitch, sling, noose, interlace. Loop becomes a symbol in the textile conference for the aim to strengthen the networks, where by boat a loop is made over the Baltic Sea. The boat trip stands for a connection that spans several dimensions. Shipping has, at all times, brought people together, and the life at sea carries much of the textile knowledge with its nets, knots, ropes, and hawsers. Being together on a boat provides the time and opportunity to bring people together both in knowledge, creativity, intergenerational meetings, and across national borders.
