Anni Albers is one of the most influential artists and textile designers of the twentieth century. Her work moves between the Bauhaus, art, design, and architecture, and continues to shape our understanding of textile art to this day.


The film traces the key stages of her career – from her early days at the Bauhaus and her years at Black Mountain College to the pictorial weavings that helped redefine textile art. Featuring insights from the exhibition’s curators, exhibition footage, and archival material, it offers fresh perspectives on an artist who challenged conventional distinctions between art and craft.
