Exhibition and associated activities:Arpilerak: Memoriaren Haritik Etorkizuna Josten / Arpilleras: Al Hilo De La Memoria, Tejiendo Futuro / Arpilleras: Knitting the Future through the Thread of Memory
Description: This exhibition takes place as part of the festival of Peace, co-existance and human rights. It is hosted by the Government of Navarra.

On the opening day a roundtable discussion titled “Knitting the future: Stitches for co-existance” will take place with the participation of curator Roberta Bacic, Iratxe Momoitio and Idoia Orbe Museo de la Paz de Gernika, Roser Corbera Fundació Ateneu Sant Roc and Ekaitz Goikoetxea lecturer of Instituto Askatasuna of Burlada.

As part of the exhibition programme, several workshops are planned for educational centres, associations and the general public. The aim of these workshops is to enable attendees to pass on this expertise to their centres and associations.
A secondary aim is that these groups will then make their own arpilleras of denouncement and reflecting nonviolent action. It is hoped that the cycle that starts in April will end in December with Human Rights week, featuring an exhibition of arpilleras made in Navarra by the different centres.

Date(s): 12th April 2018 - 24th April 2018
Venue: Palacio Baluarte, Pamplona, Navarra
Plaza del Baluarte, 31.002 Pamplona, Navarra, Basque Country / Spain
Curator: Curator Roberta Bacic assisted by Breege Doherty

Outcome: It is anticipated that the exhibition and associated activities will lead to the emergence of an arpillera movement in the education centres and organisations of Navarra. It is envisaged that this will create a direct communication with society that reflects memory on different topics; topics which are uncomfortable but which need to be denounced.
