The Textile Center contributes to publications and knowledge-sharing in its fields of expertise, including cultural heritage, textile traditions, creative industries and regional development.
We collaborate with local municipalities and the regional Tourism Association on the writing and translation of materials related to cultural tourism and local heritage. These collaborations have resulted in several publications, including Hiking Trails, a collection of trail maps for Northwest Iceland (2017); Between the Mountains and the Sea, an information booklet about the Austur-Húnavatnssýsla district (2014, 2017); the bilingual magazine The Iceview (2016–2018); and Margt býr á Norðurlandi vestra, an introduction to artists and craftspeople based in Northwest Iceland (2018).
In 2016, we produced a series of short videos introducing the Textile Center Residency, now known as Ós, and the surrounding region. Since 2017, we have published the annual Ós Residency Catalog, presenting the artists who take part in the residency and the work they develop during their stay.
The Textile Center also participates in international collaborative projects, including projects funded by European programmes such as Horizon Europe and Interreg. These projects often involve research, knowledge exchange and cooperation with partners across Europe, resulting in publications, research outputs and project reports. Reports and other project-related materials are made available through the respective project websites; some can also be found in the "Útgefið Efni" section of our Icelandic website.
