*Event has been postponed until further notice*
Transmissions Quilts is a project that makes quilts for individually nominated trans people. Along the way, we are building out an oral histories archive of interviews with quilt recipients and offering community workshops to trans and queer people. We're thrilled to be collaborating with San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles to offer a talk about the project. Preceding the talk will be a chance for trans and queer people to gather and work on a collective quilt together - no experience necessary. The pieces we make in these workshops enter into a larger exhibition that we are taking on tour around the country. The tour is intended to bring the gift-quilts and associated art objects to places our trans quilters and recipients live. Photo by Alastair Boone. Buy your tickets here.

A Tradition of Revolution
Quilts arrived in the American colonies as a fashionable style of bedcoverings for the well to do, but as they filtered down through the society, women completely changed not only how quilts could be made, but also the very meaning of them. In the process quilts acquired the possibility of infinite creativity and revolutionized the idea of a bed covering, making it into a form that could accommodate individual ideas, no matter how new and personal.

The Woven Pixel
January 28th, 2026 — May 11th, 2026
This exhibition explores the rise of digital weaving which emerged in the early 2000s. It brings together a variety of work by artists and designers who experiment with digital looms and jacquard software. It pays tribute to two artists in particular, Bhakti Ziek and Alice Schlein, who wrote The Woven Pixel (2006), which quickly became something of a bible for weavers in art, design and industry—-and referenced still today. Because every intersection of warp and weft represents a pixel, weaving seamlessly merged with the earliest computer technologies. Today digital weavers are altering the landscape of contemporary art and design using algorithmic painterliness, expressive structures and flexible parametric forms. Curated by Sarah Mills.
