This exhibition showcases a long-term collaboration between a community organization in Chile—Mesa Ciudadana de Patrimonio, Cultura y Turismo de Lota—and scholar Magdalena Novoa. The project uses the Chilean textile craft called arpillera made by women in Chile’s southern coal basin region of Biobio to create counter-narratives of their cities’ urban history from women’s perspectives and to influence historical preservation planning and policy.
