ALLUCCI, Renata Rendelucci. A needle, a lamp, a loom. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.3, e54376. Epub 01-Set-2019. ISSN 1806-9584. https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2019v27n354376.
The article aims to understand some common aspects in Latin America, assuming dictatorships create identifications among their countries. Despite the consequences and difficulties of this governmental system, some Latin American women found alternatives to face and to resist the established power through the practice of collective embroidery. In their pieces, they bring to light the non-official history, denouncing the violation of human rights, expressing their feelings and sharing their experiences. As examples of actions of these groups of women, there are cases from Argentina, Colombia and Chile which, in the attempt to overcome what victimized them, transformed art into a political tool.
