Memory Mapping at Millie Joe

2014
Written By

With New City Artists in Residence at The Haven, create a personal memory map of the Charlottesville places you inhabit. Join New City Arts at Milli Joe from 10AM-Noon on Thursday, May 22, 2014 for this community mapping event!

Participants of NCAI's memory mapping event gather around circular white tables to draw, list, discuss, and map the spaces we all "inhabit, traverse, and remember."

Community mapping is an exercise that uses cartography as a platform for generating a dialogue about the spaces we inhabit, in this case, the city of Charlottesville. This event will focus on creating personal memory maps. Starting from scratch, participants will be encouraged to draw, list, discuss and map the spaces we all inhabit, traverse, and remember.

Mapping is an all-age activity. Kids are totally welcome. All of the maps will be on view later this summer in an exhibition opening at the WVTF space as part of First Fridays on June 6, 2014.

This is part of a larger project that Laura Snyder and Mara Sprafkinare working on to create many different perspectives on one shared space, the city of Charlottesville.

This event is free and open to the public. Milli Joe is located at 400 Preston Ave. Parking is available.
