There is also, however, an East Asian myth that when you are born you are linked by an invisible red thread to your soul mate; no matter what you do, this red thread connects you to your fate and, although the thread may become tangled or infinitely long, it will never break. Exploring histories of making and cultural practices, a multidisciplinary team of international scholars use the metaphorical thread to link the experiences of cloth production, lineage practices, contemporary challenges and sustainable futures, and to explore, through imagery and ideas, the agency of cloth to shape and communicate the sensations and emotions connected with human experience.Divided into f","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577900044631,"sku":"9781350320482","price":23.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350320482.jpg?v=1746097090","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reading-the-thread-9781350320482","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
