| Exhibition and seminar: | Narrativas textiles: Tramas de dolor y empatía en América Latina / Textile Narratives: Traces of pain and empathy in Latin America |
| Description: | This seminar is a platform for dialogue. The key aim is to explore different paradigms and textualities in which various forms of witnessing, managing, documenting and making public multiple traumatic experiences resulting from past and present violence throughout the Latin American continent are deployed.
The platform focuses on the actions, spaces and listening networks that have brought together collective processes of empathy and accompaniment in the search for justice and truth. Promoting transdisciplinary and innovative dialogue between processes and experiences around weaving, sewing and other textile and artistic expressions in relation to memory construction and documenting pain, trauma and losses is a core element. Overall, it aims to be a rich encounter between academics and organizations. In addition to exploring the supports and narratives of pain, it will also focus on the intersections between art, culture and memory, textile practices and their political potential in Latin America.

"Empathy communities" is the concept behind this gathering of academics, activists and local collectives who search for their disappeared.
The discussion and dialogue spaces were complemented with interventions in the form of murals and screening of documentaries. The synergy of these components allowed participants to go beyond traditional academic boundaries. Such a programme should not be regarded as an exception, but rather as an important mechanism to build knowledge with and for society into the future.
