Embroidering Words that Matter: Virtual Political Embroidery Workshop

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 10:00to12:00
Needle with multicolour threads

Embroidery has long been dismissed as mere "domestic work," but for generations of women and gender-diverse people, it has served as a powerful tool for defiance and resistance.

Join Teresa Olmedo, Brenda Ojinaga, and Graciela Mtz-Zalce for an exploration into the art of reclaiming craft. This session will demonstrate how to transform needlework into a catalyst for change, using stitched words as vital tools against discrimination and gender-based violence.

Event Details
This online workshop is open to everyone—from seasoned stitchers to those who have never picked up a needle. To ensure a full, immersive experience, participants are asked to have a square piece of fabric, thread, and pencils or markers ready at the start of the session.
