It started with a PhD project by Bárbara Oliveira Soares, who is researching mothers with a migrant background and their mothering experiences in urban environments. Under the instruction and guidance of two amazing textile artists from Warmi Kuyen, we learned about the rich history and tradition of arpilleras, a South American textile tradition that played an important role during the Chilean dictatorship, giving women a way to support each other and tell their stories.   Week after week, we sat together, stitched on our own textile artwork that tells our mothering story, and began to form a bond that extended over the project. We will continue our weekly session, and all mothers are welcome, especially those who feel they need a support network and some listening ears!
