In summer 2025, in association with TEXTUS, the Torriano Meeting House will transform into the HOUSE OF HABERDASH, a group exhibition and series of activations, including readings, workshops and sales.
Derived from 'haberdashery', HOUSE OF HABERDASH invites writers, artists and designers to submit their ware and become part of a whirlwind summer of haberdashing —
We are interested in work that explores the items you might find in historical, modern or fantastical haberdasheries: zips, buttons, pins, hats, thread, hosiery...let your imaginations run and dash —
Haberdashery and the history of haberdasheries evoke an assortment of themes and ideas: localism, repair, upcycling, trade, collecting, ornament, detail, nostalgia, craft, smallness...The items you might find in real or imagined haberdasheries hold limitless opportunities for exploration...
Our call-out is an offering, a starting point for your unique interpretation. So, have fun with it, be inventive with it, get political with it, start haberdashing —
