Stitching Memories - Cristina Cusani & Dafne Salis
Cristina Cusani and Dafne Salis are two visual artists and photographers based in Italy.
Cusani’s interests span from intimate memories to domestic life, while Salis’ research focuses on photography and power dynamics.
Together, they propose the workshop Stitching Memories where each participant is asked to bring a family photograph which recalls an event they would like to change. As an act of mending, attendants intervene on their photograph through embroidery by adding elements, concealing parts or changing the layout of what is portrayed, as to metaphorically repair their past. The intervention will aim at making visible the power’s structures operating in intimate and close realities, such as families. These donated photographs become a collective work of art.
PRACTICALS:
The masterclass is limited to 8 participants. Inscription is obligatory and happens by registering in this form
Each participant is invited to bring a photographic print that will be embroidered and will not be returned.
For any enquiry please write to cristinacusani[at]gmail.com or dafne.salis[at]gmail.com
The event is part of the projects Lost in Motherhood by Cristina Cusani and Techniques and Methodologies for Caring and Ethical Photography by Dafne Salis both supported by Strategia Fotografia 2024, promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture.
