Repair Shop Collaborator: Liza Stark

Repair Shop | Press Release | Schedule

Liza Stark is a transdisciplinary designer, artist, and educator based in NYC. Her creative practice combines traditional textiles and conductive fabrics with circuits and code to produce unexpected interactions at a human scale. Designed to augment and deepen partial cultural narratives, these include memorial quilts made of fabric speakers, data exchanging wedding garments, DIY open source sensor construction, wearable experiments, and more. 

As an educator, Liza builds physical and conceptual toolkits through swatches, zines, games, and other systems to co-create spaces of critical exploration with students. She applies all of the above in my role as Director of Curriculum at Girls Who Code and part time faculty in the Design + Technology program at Parsons. She is a founding organizer of electronic textile camp and has presented work at CultureHub, the Center for Craft, The Mill at Prairie Ronde, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, the Wassaic Project, ISWC, TEI, GDC, and more.
