Bordado e Resistência: A prática tradicional como potência para a autonomia feminina

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate how the embroidery are in contemporary embroideries as art and as a form of resignification of feminine habits. Going through a brief history of embroidery as a practice and a conceptualization of applied technique within class society, I focus on contemporary art analyzing the theme and technique in feminists artists’ works. I also reflect my experience as a professor of the technique, as well as an artist, analyzing how embroidery permeates my personal and social development.
