Glimpse just a bit of Sardinia’s majesty and explore the indescribable beauty of Sardinian handwoven textiles in this short adventure into the Mediterranean island’s art, culture, and heritage. Kelly Manjula Koza, founder of Sardinian Arts, will share photos, film clips, and stories of the island with a focus on the tessitrici artigianali—the unique women weavers who maintain Sardinia’s ancient handweaving tradition, artfully expressing the Sardinian spirit through their work and textiles.

Woven one at a time on looms powered entirely by hand and foot, Sardinian handwoven textiles are technically precise, astonishingly beautiful, and possess an unquantifiable essence that serves as a portal to something we seek yet may not be able to describe. Feel this in the textiles from Samugheo, Nule, and Aggius that will be displayed during the event.
