Stripes Dots Checks

Part 1 The Striped Towel

Performance, 45 mins

15th November 2020, The MirrorLab, Minneapolis, MN, USA

Performance based on the memories and textiles left from my great grandmother, Gesya. This is a joint project with my mother, who recorded short memorable episodes from her grandmother’s life related to textile objects. Gesya (d. 1984) lived in Nevel, a small town in West Russia.

The research for the work has been facilitated with the support of Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council, an initiative of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation.
