Transforming threads of resistance: political arpilleras & textiles by women from Chile and around the world

Resumo

"Political arpilleras were born in Chile as a response to human rights violations during the Pinochet dictatorship, when women sewed the stories of those who faced torture, were imprisoned, and were disappeared; they recorded these experiences of daily life resisting their silencing and naming their realities, demanding the truth and the economic means to care for their families during the repression." -- Editora
