(Event is in Wisbech or online) My embroidered voice arpilleras talk and worksho

Title: My embroidered voice arpilleras talk and craft workshop
Artists: Lorna Dillon and Erika Silva

Description: In Latin America appliqués known as arpilleras are created as a form of feminist self-care, solidarity, activism and resistance. Come and join us for a talk and workshop in which you can hear about Chilean arpilleras and, if you wish, make your own appliqué to take home or to add to the community bunting. No prior experience of sewing needed. Materials are provided. Lorna will speak about Chilean arpillera collectives and Erika, joining virtually from Chile will teach you to make a small applique. If you are unable to attend in person, online participation is also possible. Please let us know in advance if you will be participating remotely, so we can let you know what materials you will need.

Erika Silva is the director of the art group Colectivo Memorarte @memorarte

Dr Lorna Dillon is a researcher in the Department of History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a member of Memorarte
