virPrague 20: Experiments in Collaboration and Critical Participation
How does reconciliation feel? These two pieces —initiated by women's textile collectives in Colombia and intervened by the Remendar lo Nuevo team— are part of a collection of testimonial digital textiles that invite us to look, touch, listen and produce textile messages about reconciliation (in contexts of war) in a situated way. Participants will have the opportunity to get involved with these messages and to respond. The pieces allow an asynchronous, open-ended, and multi-situated conversation between the Colombian textile collectives and the participants. The intervention seeks to create a patchwork of discourses on reconciliation from emotions and senses in the day-to-day life from a bottom-up dynamic.
As a visitor to the digital experience, (http://artesanaltecnologica.org/time-s-to-listen/) you will traverse the details of the components of the Times to Listen exhibition. Your path will begin by immersing yourself in the stories of two textile collectives conformed by women who have experienced the consequences of the Colombian armed conflict. After getting to know them, the site will take you on a textile journey where you will encounter the women’s senses of reconciliation, told in their own voices and textile creations.
After visiting the exposition we invite you to respond with both your words and hands. In order to do so, please prepare your favourite needle and threads of different colours and join our scheduled virtual sewing circle (https://meet.jit.si/time-s-to-listen).
