title = "From Tehran to Thisted via Textiles: Interviews with two textile artists on textile as a successful foundation and privileged ground for co-creation and memory",
abstract = "The point of departure of this article is the artwork created within the frameworkof the Fabric of My Life project by textile artists Solveig S{\o}ndergaard (DK) and Rezvan Farsijani (FR). The themes of the artworks evolve around craftsmanshipand heritage and the passing on of textile skills between generations which is oneof the central themes of the research project. The article opens with examples of female textile artists of the 20th century, displaying how textiles skills have been employed as a tool for empowerment of women, leading then up to similar feminist movements of the early 21st century such as craftivism and mending, or the pussy hat movement. It then bridges to a framing of the two respective artists that have been working to formulate artistic responsesto the activities of Fabric of My Life. As such, their artworks are embedded in the podcast-series of the project consistingElse Skjold, Associate Professor,PhD at the Royal Danish Academy/DKof interviews about cross-generational and cross-border experiences tied upto particular garments. The remaining article is shaped as interviews with the artists based on their artworks {\textquoteleft}Promise of Dawn{\textquoteright} (Farsijani) and {\textquoteleft}Stitched Stories{\textquoteright} (S{\o}ndergaard). The interview focuses not only on the artworks and how they have been inspired by the Fabric of My Life but also of the individual experiences of the artists of textiles skills being passed over from their own family.",
