Tracing Threads and Weaving Stories: Creative Stories in the Italian Diaspora

The Graziadio Center has the pleasure of hosting ‘Tracing Threads and Weaving Stories: Creative Stories in the Italian Diaspora’, a talk by multidisciplinary artist Luci Callipari-Marcuzzo, whose work actively engages with her family’s immigration history with a focus on women’s experiences and creativity. An integral part of her practice-led research is her transformation into an imagined version of her Calabrese grandmothers in which she makes artifacts using traditional women’s crafts of sewing, embroidery, and crochet. Her ongoing project, ‘Tracing Threads of the Past’, is a manifestation of the dreams, desires, and lived realities of migrant women that strives to give voice to those who were all too often silenced by the dominant gender roles operating within Southern Italian communities.

The talk will take place in LA2-200 On Wednesday, September 14th at 2:00pm. 

Additionally, you may use the ZOOM ID: 485 868 9162 to join virtually.
