Story Telling with Canvases RATED PG
Created/Performed by Rachel M. Mercuri
A reading/telling of a story about a girl’s response to her grandfather’s death supported by mixed media canvas illustrations. The story is set (loosely) in Papua New Guinea, inspired by the artist’s journey in August of 2000. The homes in the village she visited were woven from straw. Music, storytelling and weaving are all core elements of this intimate performance event.
