Embroidering Absence: War Memories of Salvadoran Women Refugees explores how Salvadoran women, forced to leave their homeland during the civil war (1980-1992), harnessed the power of embroidery to confront and heal from absence. Disseminated globally to foster international solidarity, the embroidered pieces encapsulate testimonies of denied massacres, memories of ravaged homes, and ethnographic accounts of exile. Curator María Méndez, from the Department of Political Science at UTSG, collaborates with the Museum of Word and Image in El Salvador (MUPI) and the Collaborative Digital Research Space at UTM (CDRS) to present nine original embroidery works created by Salvadoran women refugees. Informative panels accompany the artworks, providing context to the historical significance of these embroidered narratives.
