Her piece, The Shape of Memory, will be on display in the Lee Bollinger Forum on the day of the event.Maya is a Canadian American artist based in the Bronx. Her work grows out of her early training in dance, choreography, and theater design, where movement, images, and space all work together. These experiences continue to shape how she thinks about bodies, places, and how people move through the world.Her practice spans textiles, video, mixed media, and movement‑based performance. She often looks at the connections between the natural environment and human-made spaces, exploring where they meet and where they break down. Drawing on scientific and ecological ideas, she creates artworks that map space, memory, and history.Ciarrocchi frequently works with archives and historical materials, using them to imagine stories about the past, present, and future. Through drawing, stitching, performance, and video, she builds new visual worlds from traces of what has been lost. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/24b84ad0-6fb4-11f1-ac0a-0dee71c0479d-rimg-w494-h740-dcd2d6d8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/cartographies-in-thread-a-sewing-circle/100001991108193205 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts, business, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 12+ - Duration: 1 hour - Location: The Forum at Columbia University - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Forum at Columbia University - **lat**: 40.8162528 - **long**: -73.95838859999999 - **full address**: The Forum at Columbia University, 601 West 125th Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cartographies in Thread: A Sewing Circle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/168757deda9976d51f802f1f307bdb9788e6f682b0da91fae5733e4638a513b4-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdbedec-gmir.jpg?v=1781647266 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cartographies in Thread: A Sewing Circle being held? - **A:** Cartographies in Thread: A Sewing Circle takes place on Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm at The Forum at Columbia University, 601 West 125th Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Cartographies in Thread: A Sewing Circle? - **A:** Cartographies in Thread: A Sewing Circle is strictly for guests aged 12 and above.
