In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Liz Kueneke.
Liz Kueneke is an Ibizan-based artist whose community created maps plot personal paths through urban environments.
Her Urban Fabric project involves embroidering maps of different cities and inviting communities to weave their own narratives into the maps. The project aims to change people's perceptions of place and foster a sense of connection to their surroundings. Liz has conducted these participatory mapping projects in various cities around the world, including Barcelona, Manhattan, Bangalore and Morocco. Liz's work is influenced by the concept of psychogeography, which explores different ways of experiencing and understanding our environment.
