COMPUTERS WERE WOMEN · BORÅS ART BIENNIAL · SWEDEN
Nathalie Pozzi
“Borås Art Biennial 2026 spins a web of tales and testimonies that trace the legacies of textile industry. Unfolding across the city centre and between the Art and Textile Museums in Borås, the biennial exhibition Warps & Waves in the Fabric of Time engages with the interwoven societal and ecological transformations accelerated by industrial modernity.”
Consulting with artist Nanna Debois Buhl on "Computers Were Women” and “Shape Shifters“, commissioned for the Borås Art Biennial 2026, Sweden.
