Weaving Dialogues: Vessels of Memory
Every memory has a thread. What story will you weave?
Join us on 120th Street in Harlem for Weaving Dialogue: Vessels of Memory, in collaboration with Marcus Meets Malcolm (@120thmmm).
Spend an afternoon connecting with neighbors, sharing stories, and creating your own woven vessel—with music by @dj_byron_james setting the mood. Bring your curiosity and discover how fabric can hold memories, spark conversation, and become something meaningful.
No weaving experience needed—all materials are provided!
Want to add a personal touch? You’re welcome to bring a cotton T-shirt or shirt, linen fabric, or a meaningful garment that belonged to a loved one. Choose something you’re comfortable cutting and weaving into your vessel, giving its story a new form.
