Description

In 2020, using the framework of memorisalition process with exiled communities, the Colombian Truth Commission (CTC) in the UK/Ireland and Conflict Textiles hosted workshops using the language of textiles. In 2021, building on this process, and extending the partnership to include Transitional Justice Institute, Ulster University a series of three workshops Con-textualizando la memoria / Contextualising memory were facilitated as part of the Commission support spaces in the UK and Ireland. This collective work brought together victims and survivors who expressed via textile language their memories, actions of resilience, struggle in exile and contribution to the truth and memory, culminating in a collective textile Con-textualizando la memoria / Contextualising memory outcome banner and a launch on the International Human Rights Day, with the support of Incore, Ulster University.
