Join us for a weaving workshop with artist Ahree Lee, whose exhibition Program and Pattern will be on view at the Ely Center April 2 - 30. The workshop is free and open to all.

The first computer program was written by a woman and the design of the first computers was inspired by the jacquard weaving loom — historical facts that are little-known today. New media and textile artist Ahree Lee will share her recent body of work which explores the interconnections between weaving and computing, and the often-overlooked but essential role of women and textiles in the development of coding, while demonstrating the interconnections between fiber-related arts and computing  by guiding participants in making their own weaving.

This workshop is made possible with support from the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation and the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale.
