Lori Lako - Woven Echos Presentation
Through a workshop and presentation, Lori Lako engages participants in textile Through this workshop and presentation, Lako creates a space where participants engage with textile-preserving as both a personal and collective act, scanning personal pieces as a reflection on the shifting dynamics of labor, tradition, and identity.
Woven Echos dissects the intimate and evolving relationship between women and weaving, bridging domestic craftsmanship with broader social narratives. Through this workshop and presentation, Lako creates a space where participants engage with textile-preserving as both a personal and collective act, scanning personal pieces as a reflection on the shifting dynamics of labor, tradition, and identity. As part of the public presentation, Lori Lako extends this dissection by showcasing the scanned textiles, visually bridging the experiences of women in Durrës and those in Italy. The presentation highlights how these fabrics, carrying the imprints of personal histories, become testimonies of migration, labor, and cross-generational exchange. Through this act of preservation and reinterpretation, Lako emphasizes stitching as a subversive strategy of resistance within the domestic sphere—a quiet yet powerful assertion of agency against societal constraints.
Lori Lako (b. 1991, Albania) is a visual artist working with photography, installation, and textile-based practices to engage with themes of memory, migration, and social identity. Drawing from archival materials and personal narratives, her work reflects on the intersections of history and lived experience. Recent projects focus on domestic craftsmanship, particularly weaving and stitching, as acts of resilience and resistance. She has presented her work in various international and regional exhibitions, creating immersive reflections on labor, displacement, and cultural heritage. Lako lives and works between Albania and Italy.
