Artist Talk/Workshop will take place at Swoon Art House
Join us for an entertaining and visual tour of Andean textile techniques and their relationship with energy and information through Artist in Residence Sandra De Berduccy’s works. A Q&A session will follow the talk.
Following the talk, De Berduccy will lead a workshop where tangible examples related to textiles, energy and our own bodies will be shared. The participants will be able to experiment with piezoelectricity generation, through assembling a mini self- generator light.

About BMoCA + Swoon
The BMoCA + Swoon International Artists Residency exists to invite creatives from around the world to explore their practice within the Boulder community. Our goal is to foster the growth of emerging and established artists, musicians, writers, dancers, and other creatives by providing them with the studio space, resources, time, and freedom to take risks and realize expansive works of their imagination. The residency emphasizes the importance of a meaningful and multi-layered exchange of ideas and fosters working relationships with local entities. The result has been an interdisciplinary collaboration between the arts, technology, and sciences in which resident artists work closely with scholars, creatives, and experts at scientific research centers to further their current work or develop new works. Established in 2015, the program has hosted six artists to date.
