Community textile art is more than weaving and stitching beautiful threads. Textile art is a cultural expression that encompasses values, needs, and aspirations. Often meditative, textile art offers hope to communities who have suffered. In this ABCD Story Share, presenters Teresa Cruz and Mary McCann Sanchez will explore five decades of preservation of historical memory in Chile, Honduras, and El Salvador through patchwork tapestry and embroidery. The speakers will demonstrate how testimony-telling has inspired schools and communities to document their own experiences in current struggles for well-being and justice.

Some of the presentation will be delivered in Spanish with live interpretations.
