The Leaders
Amaya Khoury
Software Founder & Textile Artist
Beirut & Montréal
A loom is the oldest computer we have. I just gave it a longer memory.
Amaya founded a version-control company in Montréal and led it for nine years before its acquisition. She now runs a studio that writes software for Jacquard looms and weaves large-scale tapestries from public datasets.
Her work hangs in two national collections and her open-source weaving tools are used by more than forty textile studios.
