For the Colombian coastal community of Mampuján, displaced by a paramilitary group in 2000 from their land, quilting has become a way of recovering their past in order to weave a better future. Moving from individual healing to collective recovery and advocating for their rights have become important steps for Mampuján in changing cycles of violence and creating a better future for their community. As the women sew, the tapestries of the community continue to be woven.
This exhibit is made possible through partnership with Mennonite Central Committee Colombia.
