NOVEMBER PROGRAM:
Emma Jane Powell - Arpilleras: Women’s Political Resistance through Textile Art
Wednesday, November 13, 2025
PARC Campus Doors open at 9:15 AM
Meeting starts at 9:45 AM
Arpilleras were a form of craft art resistance born during the Chilean dictatorship of the 1970-80s. Using applique tapestries closely resembling quilts, learn how impoverished women communicated human rights atrocities happening in Chile with the outside world. We will explore various arpilleras from that time period and what they represent. We will also look at arpilleras today and how this craft art is being recognized. You will even get to see and feel various arpilleras. Learn a little about history, politics, and art of South America during this very captivating lecture.
