In Bizkaia, this project is being coordinated by the Faculty of Education in Bilbao of the University of the Basque Country.
In this second exhibition, we continue to talk about and give visibility to the experiences of women: strong, fighting women who want to be visible, connect with the community, and bring to light the voices of women who are no longer with us. We have worked with university students, schools, women's associations, and platforms such as Ongi Etorri Errefuxiatuak. The opening day was a time for people to come together, collaborate on the installation of the exhibition, and share their experiences of the process. This process has also been recorded in sound format through recordings of the stories that the creation of the maps has inspired. Volunteer students from the Early Childhood Education degree at the Faculty of Education in Bilbao, the Master's Degree in Psychopedagogy, and students from the Aulas de la Experiencia and women from the participating groups have taken part.

Whatever the final story may appear with the different colors and fabrics, it has the different emotions, the flavors, the gazes and this generosity that can be achieved only through the gift of a square. During this action, in Kerala, the process evolved smoothly, in the first 2 days of the week we set up the project introduction using a table in Tasara open air exhibition, people came, artists from Tasara retreat and visitors of the exhibition, some of them took squares and gave it to us during the next 3 weeks, we also did same squares using indigo dye, some people enjoyed using the indigo squares to start their stories, some other people took some indigo squares as a souvenir. During the waiting time, we told other people about the project, one by one. In the last day we assembled the squares received in a panel . There were amazing squares like the tapestry made by Nemichand, weaver from India, stories by Pawan Sudir, new TC local coordinator in India, embroideries by Cristian and Claudia, from Colombia, the beautiful appliqué by Olga from Iceland, the incredible squares from Maria and Svetlana from Russia, Shawsuland and Aung Zaw from Myanmar: Sheeja; Aastha and Sneekula from India; Susanne from USA; Shirley from Wales; Zaia from Mongolia; Ale Sequeira and Graciella Fournier from Costa Rica and Graciella Miller from Uruguay. In this action we understood the power of collecting stories, of a collective image with many layers of participation and the role of the gift as a commitment to the collective stories.

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.
