AFFECTIVITY IN THE THREADS.
Generate rituals from the collective act of knitting.
Abstract
This paper describes a research project that focuses on exploring hybrid identity through textile plastic manipulation in a group work context. The practices proposed include the creation of individual and collective pieces, as well as the conversations that emerge during these processes, on themes such as oral memory, cultural identity and the meaning of colours and textures in relation to the feeling of belonging. The role of textile language as a means of communication and expression is highlighted, as well as its capacity to generate community spaces for reflection. This approach demonstrates how it is possible to generate spaces for multidisciplinary knowledge through the gesture of weaving as a group, recovering techniques and knowledge from the oral tradition and applying them to contemporary artistic production based on a methodology derived from critical pedagogy. The activities take place in an atmosphere of dialogue, solidarity and empowerment, where participants become co-producers of knowledge through artistic creation. This is the reason why these processes are presented as a valuable tool for social development by fostering collaborative environments.
