Textile Cartographies is a mouvement started from a participatory action research project using textile arts as story telling, coordinated by APECV Research Group on Arts, Community and Education (GriArCE) in 2022. Currently the network has 35 groups involving participants from 22 countries from universities, schools, collectives and associations in Americas; Africa; Asia; Australia and Europe. Each group has one or more coordinators and develop actions with participants. The actions are designed with the participants to reflect about environment; climate justice; social justice and other sustainability issues through exploring visual discourses using arts and textile technologies. Groups who already participated are located in Australia; South Africa: Namibia; Egypt; India, Iran; Israel; Kyrgyzstan; Indonesia; Italy: Norway; The Netherlands; Portugal; Spain; Latvia; China; Japan; Brazil; Mexico; Colombia; USA and Canada.
By April 2025, we estimated that about 6000 people were engaged in TC actions organized by the local coordinators in museums; schools; universities; cultural sites; social/health care and non-profit organisations. |
