Translations and Interpretations
works by the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center
3rd floor, glass cases, Downtown Library

on display July 23 - September 22, 2022
Meet the Artisans: Tuesday, August 23, 5-7pm

Each year the artisans at the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center create handwoven designs based on a theme. For 2022 the theme is "Translations and Interpretations." Based on the weavers of the Bauhaus movement's collaborative and experimentation, artisans started with the same basic striped warp and use different structures and fibers to create their own unique handwoven cloth. The cloth was then sewn and finished into a variety of products by the Center’s team of volunteer sewers and finishers.

Since 2009, the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center, a small non-profit with studios at 42 Woodland St, has welcomed people 55 and older and people of any age with blindness or visual impairment to learn the art of loom weaving and earn a small stipend for the fabric they create.

The Embrace Series by Lindaluz Carrillo
Albany Library

The Embrace series was created during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were experiencing intense isolation, loss and defeat as we yearned to be physically connected with our loved ones. The first piece, Embrace One, was created as part of a wheat paste series where images were plastered on Hartford buildings to remind people that we are not alone. These works honor those we lost and those who survived and continue to be with us.
