Embroidering in the formative experience of peasant women

Abstract

The text addresses the experience developed with peasant women in arpilleras workshops, which is configured in processes of transformation of the way these women see their realities and connect with the reality of others, in remote and even unknown rural communities. The cut out made through free embroidery, houses an aesthetic and political perspective of exercising solidarity causing the displacement of hegemonic voices and naturalized places as canonical. The reflection made highlights the possibilities of dialogues that are weaved in artistic objects and beyond them, which emerge from the individual to the collective and sew from the collective to resignify the individual, in total relation with daily life.
