Intertwining, interweaving, relating to create a fabric. Textile narratives pass through the body and emotions, generating resonances. Textiles touch the viewer in an embodied and emotional way, creating connections and understanding where before there was ignorance or even enmity.

Textile narratives become pedagogical tools with great communicative potential, which can be used and recreated in different contexts. This is our invitation.

University of Antioquia Apartadó Campus.

Here we (un)stitch resonances with students and other people of the region

University of Antioquia, Medellín Campus
Faculty of Nursing.

Here we (un)stitch with lecturers and students.

Convivamos Medellín Corporation. Here we (un) stitch with women from the north-western area of Medellín. At the same time that some people embroidered in the city, others did so in the countryside

TUTORIALS / FIRST STITCHES:

Not all of us knew how to embroider. We learned along the way.

These tutorials that we share here helped us a lot when we started.

We can use them in classes with our students, in our homes with the family or in activities with community groups – so that we can all learn to narrate with cloth, thread and needle.
