Desert Threads: Weaving Tradition and Technology
TRAME presents Desert Threads: Weaving Tradition and Technology, an exhibition inspired by two desert landscapes—the Moroccan Sahara and the West Texas Chihuahuan Desert—that intertwines the heritage of Moroccan craft with the free-spirited, artistic experimentalism that has come to characterize Marfa, TX.
A collection of tapestries, developed during a research trip to Morocco in 2023, by renowned digital artists IX Shells, Linda Dounia and Fingacode, is showcased within a recreated Berber camp situated on the open, canvas-like landscape of Marfa. The exhibition is an immersive gathering space and point of connection that invites visitors to explore the shared spirit of two deserts, where the boldness of digital art meets the tactile richness of Berber tradition.
The tapestries embody the harmony between the visions of the digital artists and the heritage craft of Moroccan artisans, opening a powerful dialogue about technology and tradition across continents and cultures.
