| Exhibition and conference: | Sew to Speak – Human Rights |
| Description: | This exhibition is an integral part of the international conference "Sew to Speak: Narrative Textiles in Human Rights and Healing Practices".
This bilingual English/Spanish conference will bring together women from different parts of the world who create textiles on a variety of themes: human rights, healing of trauma, and women’s empowerment. The exhibition itself features arpilleras which focus on the violations of four of the human rights as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Within the overall conference, through the medium of inputs, experiential workshops and a shared display of textiles it is anticipated that new insights and connections will be developed and a worldwide network of women supported to continue their empowering work within their communities.
'Common Threads', a short film produced by Rachel Cohen and directed by Gayla Jamison, will be launched during the conference.
