MacGuffin #15: The Stitch

The stitch is a modest gesture with an expansive reach. It connects, mends, unravels and gives voice to what resists articulation. From textiles to tech, scars to seams, books to buildings, and leather to language: this issue of MacGuffin explores the margins and the mysteries of a stitched world. Marking 10 years of MacGuffin, this anniversary edition threads together unexpected stories and surprising perspectives, exploring how stitches shape, bind and define the things we make and the lives we lead.

With contributions from Tanveer Ahmed, Line Arngaard, Kader Attia, Simona Bortis-Schultz, Rachel Dedman, Olivia Douglass, Jessica Hemmings, Chris Kabel, Ilona Keserü, Emily King, Masaki Komoto, Wietske Maas, Maria McLintock, Rosa Menkman, Johannes Reponen, Scheltens & Abbenes, Nina van de Ven, Hanka van der Voet, etc.
