Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the International Research Center for Advanced Studies on "Interweaving Performance Cultures" was set up at the Freie Universität Berlin to investigate those processes in which cultures interweave in performance. Textures serves as an online publication platform of the Research Center. It brings together contributions by IRC Fellows, guest lecturers and artists under four broad categories: Patterns – Threads & Knots – Travelogue – Impulses.
