Sew to Speak – Human Rights
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 womens 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.

The touring exhibition is one of several projects that are part of a bigger initiative, Marcas da Memória (Marks left by memory). Its main objective is to promote the reparation for human rights violations that took place between 1946 and 1988. It is the outcome of an agreement reached by the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Republic of Brazil, delivered through its Amnesty Commission |
