Spontaneous Action at Santa Fe de La Laguna, 3th November 2023
As part of the walking seminar we visited several places near Patzcuaro lake during the celebrations of Dia de los Muertos, The team ( Patricia; Flavia; Viviane; Teresa; Angela; Magda; Christiana; Ramona and Maria) started to plan how to make the exhibition near the village church . Kids in that day were around collecting the candies ( Dia de los Muertos), little by little they joined us and we asked them if they wanted to embroider a square. The method , participatory action research with arts based strategies, includes immersion in the different contexts where the researchers meet to talk about the project. Eating together; visiting cultural sites; attending cultural events, learning together about textile arts and crafts and making actions with others are the core events of the walking seminar, a retreat and drifts where feeling and making is a conversation process to reflect about the ongoing project to understand each group , to evaluate and to design ways forward.

These actions will be incorporated into the installation in the museum rooms. C3 Coordinators worked with collectives of craftwomen like the Fiandeiro de Lupamar; schools like IES Manuel Garcia Barros and artistic school Rosalia de Castro as well as other partners as Associations working with people with disabilities and the Psychiatric hospital ensuring the "Textile Cartographies" project acted as a device for generating relationships between different cultures, our own and those others. The preparations started with a seminar about the project on the 23 February 2023 in the University of Santiago open to everyone. The seminar was attended by key stakeholders in education; crafts and social areas, some of them decided to invite their groups to be involved in the call. The reception of the partners and participants in the project was beyond the expectations of the coordinators, For the people working in the place of exhibition , a traditional ethnographic museum, it was also a discovery to be involved in participatory art projects. |

Exhibition Mother Earth
The exhibition reveals the fascination of squares embroidered by different people, each author in her own way, with knowledge, skills and diverse experiences, based on the topic of Mother Earth. In each one of them, there is a process, a story, a desire, a decision and an action: a gentle manifestation about the challenges of Gaia, Words, plants, trees, animals, birds, blessings, calls, music, dance, poetry, encounters of human with other living beings, with the wealth of the earth in its different forms and dimensions.
The project Cartographies Texts is conducted in Brazil by the collective Sao Paulo | Minas, coordinated by Flavia Liberman, Marcia Moraes, Angélica Carvalho Lemos and Viviane Maximino, for the exhibition ‘Mother Earth’ they had the support of Alberto Costa.
In this exhibition the pieces express the relationship between the body, art and nature, and affirm a desire for continuity. Return to artisanal art, slow pace challenging our times of celerity and immediatism considering both the individual task and the collective aspect in the narrative. Composing embroideries also expresses this dimension of collaborative process that allowed countless experiences and learning.
The exhibition and the project as a micro political action is meant to share enchantment, strength, delicacy, care, poetry , beauty and sensitivity.
