Aurèlia Muñoz. Beings plots an all-encompassing route through the work of an artist who is pivotal to an understanding of contemporary textile art. Aurèlia Muñoz (Barcelona, 1926–2011) transcended the spheres of fabric, fibre and craft, drawing on a combination of ancestral techniques and contemporary resources to focus on the impact of post-industrial crises in land, water and aerial ecosystems.
