Threads of Hope is the powerful story of a group of Chilean Women who banded together in silent protest and dared to defy a dictatorship. They are the sisters, mothers and wives of Pinochets disappeared and, armed with scraps of cloth, sewing needles and the overwhelming desire to find their loved ones, they set to work telling their stories by creating arpilleras: colorful hand made tapestries that chronicled the horror and injustice of Chiles reign of terror. These arpilleristas were helped in their work by the Catholic church who gave them a room to work in along with other support. The arpilleras were smuggled out of South America by other women who visited Chile and once back in the west these women arranged exhibitions of the arpilleras were arranged. The arpilleras were then sold and the money sent back to the Chilean arpilleristas to help them support their families. |
