- Summary:
- The arpilleras (a brightly colored patchwork picture made predominantly by groups of women) have a special ability to confront opposite symbols. We see pigeons, newborn children and nature, but we also see cemeteries, blood and repressive agents. Thus, this expression that was born as a form of union between the victims of the Pinochet dictatorship has transcended the conjuncture to become one of the most moving examples of artistic sensitivity, courage and solidarity. This catalog of the arpilleras collection of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights invites you to understand and value in work done by women from all over Chile who, overcoming all difficulties, managed to cross the borders and today represents an inescapable testimony of an era in which life was stronger than death.
