A sneak peek at some of the projects showcased 🔍
Threads of Tradition By Erika Mirzoyan, developed at FabLab Armenia
The project combines cultural research in Armenia with hands-on experimentation in natural dyes, embroidery and electronic textiles. Armenian nature and mythology, such as the Sun and Moon, Fire and Water, mountains, stars and ancient vishapakars—serve not only as visual references, but as narrative anchors shaping the material choices of the work. Envisioned as both an artistic and educational object, Threads of Tradition speaks to museums, galleries and learning spaces, aligning with Fab Lab Armenia’s mission to connect heritage, sustainability and contemporary design through making.

Ocean Breath By Laura Muth, developed at IBERO IDIT Puepla, Mexico
The project proposes an interactive body-worn installation made from biofabricated Sargassum structures positioned on the torso close to vital organs creating an interface between the human body and the ocean. The wearable reacts subtly to bodily data such as breath, heartbeat and movement translating internal rhythms into gentle motion, texture changes and light.
By turning the body into a temporary host for a marine material the project blurs the boundaries between human physiology, digital systems and oceanic life. Inspired by the massive accumulation of Sargassum along the coasts of Mexico and the Caribbean it addresses the environmental impact and abundance of this seaweed by exploring its potential as a living resource rather than waste. Sargassum exists in a state of contradiction both pollutant and opportunity, excess and material for new forms of interaction and sustainability.
