This online gathering will include presentations and workshops around the intersections of technology, textiles, craft, and materiality.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
In this Show & Tell workshop, participants will learn about the Japanese textile and craft history of kami-ito (paper thread-making) and shifu (woven cloth from this thread), and the significance of cultural heritage in contemporary art. The workshop will end with a story about ninjas.
