Copper wire yarns, a specialized form of yarn used to develop charged textiles, are very common in clothing, furniture, wound dressings, and more, and this episode examines the interconnected histories of copper mining and textile design. We look at the work of Peruvian artist Ximena Garrido-Lecca, whose work foregrounds the tension between tradition and industry, and speak with RISD Dean of Fine Arts and textile designer Brooks Hagan. This episode is presented by Yukti Agarwal.
