We asked textile designer and Lottozero community member Louisa Carmona to test our Domestika course and develop a design research project by using an archive piece as starting point.

She used the Createx platform, which we linked in our Domestika course which gave her access to the contents of the online archives of several European textile Museums.

Louisa selected a piece from the City Council of Gironella (Spain), to develop her project on.

This is Louisa's website, get to know more of her work!
