Led by a former fashion journalist, City of London Green Badge guide and Culture Mile resident, Susannah Cohen AITG. This walking tour uncovers the neighbourhood’s rag trade roots, from medieval cloth merchants to the Jewish immigrants who shaped the industry and the role of power dressing in the City today.

Unravel – The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art. Barbican Art Gallery Using textiles, fibre and thread, 50 international artists challenge power structures and reimagine the world in this major group exhibition. Textiles cover and protect us, engage our senses, trigger our memories, represent our beliefs, hold our stories. We are wrapped in cloth when we’re born and enshrouded in it when we die. As an artistic medium, textiles can speak to the joys and pains of being human, as well as the larger structures and systems that shape our world. In this major group exhibition, 50 international, intergenerational artists use textiles to communicate vital ideas about power, resistance and survival. From intimate hand-crafted pieces to monumental sculptural installations, these works offer narratives of violence, imperialism and exclusion alongside stories of resilience, love and hope. •Running from February 13 to May 26 Louise Bourgeois with her sculpture, THREE HORIZONTALS, in her home on 20th Street in New York City in 1999 © The Easton Foundation/VAGA at ARS, NY and DACS, London 2023, courtesy The Easton Foundation Teresa Margolles, american Juju for the Tapestry of Truth, 2015 Courtesy the artist and Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich/ Paris Feliciano Centurión, Eye with ñanduti c.1994, from La Mirada [the Gazing Eye series] Courtesy Cecilia Brunson Projects and Familia Feliciano Centurión Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, Boy on a Globe, 2008 © Yinka Shonibare CBE RA.
