This half-day symposium will bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines and examine the lives and work of Edward and Orra White Hitchcock through different lenses, including poetry, geology, and paleontology.

Natalia Nakazawa is a Queens-based artist working across multiple disciplines, including painting, textiles, and social practice. In conjunction with Handstitched Worlds: The Cartography of Quilts, Natalia will present “Unarchiving Woven Histories,” an artist talk, exhibition walk-through, and collaborative quilt-making workshop that explore the stories embedded in everyday materials and things.
