The Gallery @ MSASS Features Threads of Hope: Exhibit of Chilean arpilleras
Exhibit Dates: September 17, 2007 – November 15, 2007.
This exhibit showcases 22 tapestries created by a group of ordinary Chilean women who defied the military regime of Augusto Pinochet of the 1970s and 80s. These tapestries -- arpilleras -- recreate stories of the loved ones abducted, missing and murdered by the dictatorship, giving a voice to those left behind at a time when it was too dangerous to speak out against the atrocities committed by the military regime. The arpilleras featured in this exhibit are from the collection of Chilean poet, writer and human rights activist, Professor Marjorie Agosín who has spent more than twenty years interviewing the arpilleristas.
