By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media \u2014 film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers.\r\n \r\n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context \u2014 such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic \u2014 where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch \u2014 raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\r\n\r\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).
