tada – textile and design alliance air program

TaDA – Textile and Design Alliance is a cultural promotion program of the cantons of St. Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Thurgau. It enables an experimental and innovative exploration of Eastern Switzerland’s textile and design culture and works together with textile companies anchored in the region. Every year, TaDA offers six national and international personalities the opportunity to work in Switzerland. The residents develop projects in the fields of architecture, design, art, literature, performative arts or in transdisciplinary contexts. Textile companies and institutions from

Eastern Switzerland make their know-how and technology available to the artists as program partners. This gives the residents the opportunity for practical artistic work and applied research. For their part, the partners count on the creative exchange with the invited artists. The results of their work are presented to the public at various events.
