Maya Ciarrocchi: Artist Talk
Maya Ciarrocchi is an interdisciplinary artist working across media in drawing, printmaking, video, and performance. Her previous career as a dancer/choreographer and theatrical designer informs her multi-disciplinary studio practice, allowing her to work across scale, technique, and palette. Ciarrocchi’s projects center on the excavation of vanished histories, themes rooted in Queerness, and the experience of her Ashkenazi ancestry. She will present an artist talk on her practice and current projects.
