(or Woven Hug), is a participatory textile art project developed by Tere Chad and Cordelia Rizzo. They are organising a recycling campaign to collect textiles which will then be used to co-create with the local community large scale arms to hug all the ones we have lost or haven’t been able to hug during Covid-19 pandemic. The piece transforms the traditional Chilean ‘arpillera’ embroidery into a 3d sculptural object. The workshops with the community are being developed at LABNL, Lab Cultural Ciudadano, Monterrey, Mexico (Washington S/N , Centro, 64000 Monterrey - Antiguo Palacio Federal). The piece is going to be exhibited at the Explanada Cultural (front plaza) from LABNL.
