Join us for a delightful morning at MODA as Dr. Karen Norberg shares insights into her work on Knitted Brain 1 and Knitted Brain 2, the extraordinary textile sculptures featured in THREADS of CHANGE: Design & Data.


In this gallery talk, Dr. Norberg will reflect on how and why she created these larger-than-life models of the human brain using yarn, humor, and a deeply human curiosity about how things work—inside and out. Expect a thoughtful, engaging, and slightly unexpected look into the intersections of art, science, and craft.


After the talk, stick around to chat with Karen over coffee and pastries and take a closer look at the THREADS of CHANGE exhibition.
