Printed and Stitched in Time: Stories of Undaunted Women, a gallery show by JArts/CJP Community Creative Fellow Sandra Mayo.
Sandra’s exhibit tells the story of two Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Argentina, only to experience further loss in Argentina’s “Dirty War.” Join Sandra in exploring this show and its many connections to female leadership and innovation.
Enabled by her background as educator and utilizing printmaking and embroidery as her main tool, Sandra has developed a unique visual language using genograms to follow and probe the emotional history of families, including trauma and human rights abuses. Her art aims to provoke profound emotional and intellectual bonds with the viewer’s mind connecting them with current sociopolitical events. In 2022 her interactive exhibition Beyond Trauma; Roots and Routes was the recipient of the Leonard Bernstein Festival for the Creative Arts award at Brandeis University. In 2023 Sandra was the recipient of two Mass Cultural Council grants and the Art of Unity Creative Award by the International Human Rights Art Movement in NYC.
