The artists, who are first generation or foreign-born, used their work to connect with older residents at senior centers throughout the city. On Valentine's Day, the artists will hold a collage activity perfect for kids and adults who will draw and recreate memories on textured fabric. The families will then weave the patches to create a "memory mat" to use at family meals.
