Melissa Cody is a fourth-generation Navajo weaver who assembles and reimagines popular patterns into sophisticated geometric overlays. Navajo weaving has always reflected the culture and politics in which it was created—and when you grow up in the 1980s, that culture includes Mario Kart, Pac-Man, and Contra. Hear Cody discuss how her vibrant weavings draw from the artist's childhood mastery of video games, joining a long lineage of innovation and evolution in weaving tradition.
