'Photo Embroidery: Weaving Memory and Community' Workshop *NEW*
13 October 2026 · 19:00
Centre Cívic Casa Orlandai, Sarrià, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
We will present the exhibition "Més costura, menys diazepam" with a photo-embroidery workshop for recovering neighbourhood memory: we will sew into and alter postcard-format photographs of the neighbourhood. The workshop will be led by Xarxa de Dones Cosidores. Photo embroidery is an invitation to activate neighbourhood memory by giving photographs new meaning with thread and needle. Sewing on an image supports expression, brings calm and well-being, and helps us build connections through conversation and shared care. With simple techniques, anyone can create; we also reuse materials and give photographs a new life.
