Outcome: A comprehensive programme of associated activities has been put in place connected to this exhibition.
1)A major component of the programme is the hosting of an International Arpilleras Forum in three locations - Bilbao, Donostia, Gernika - 25th to 28th February 2016, (see link below - Programme-Arpilleras Forum [English/French]).
2)A more local element of the programme involves a group of local women meeting weekly in a structured workshop to make arpilleras, (see links below - Gernika - arpilleras workshop programme; and Gernika - Programme of activities).
This has culminated in the creation of an arpillera, which depicts how the Urdaibai siglos region in the Basque Country, prosperous in the 20th century, has become a dormitory region in the 21st century as people have to work elsewhere:
