A collective embroidery, a constellation of stories, a shared territory.
This textile art exhibition was created over three months by a diverse group of women, including migrants from various countries in South America. Through a community curation process, they wove their experiences from a sustained dialogue based on their everyday realities, recognizing how inequalities are interwoven at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, class, and personal history. In the workshops of Mi Calle, Nuestra Calle, each stitch was a form of encounter. As they unraveled threads of different colors and trajectories, the participants created a common fabric from tenderness, listening, and mutual recognition. The embroidery became a symbolic space to explore displacement, freedom, and autonomy, re-signifying the past and projecting possible futures together.
