Cynthia Alberto is an artist and designer and the founder of the Brooklyn-based healing arts studio Weaving Hand. Her interdisciplinary practice bridges traditional and contemporary weaving techniques through social practice and community-based engagement. Drawing from textile histories and collective making traditions across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Alberto positions weaving as both a material process and a framework for care, resilience, and collective experience.
Her work spans sculpture, performance, and large-scale public weaving projects developed in partnership with cultural institutions, civic organizations, and local communities. Grounded in artisanal knowledge, material experimentation, and a zero-waste ethos, Alberto’s practice explores the intersections of weaving and healing, craft and sustainability, and the loom as a vital cultural and technological form that continues to shape contemporary artistic practice.
