Over two afternoons, we had the opportunity to experience first hand the practice of making arpilleras. From this, two collective arpilleras emerged; a material testimony of our time together.
Both arpilleras “Bienvenida a los refugiados / Welcome refugees: Identificándose con éstos” and “Bienvenida a los refugiados / Welcome refugees: Pancarta para acciones no-violentas. ” together with their accompanying narratives are included in the documents section below:
