Resumo

The emphasis of this study relies on the arpillerista women`s movement and their arpilleras, an embroidery technique that served as a tool to speak out against the the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1915-2016). The movement characterized itself by political resistance, the denouncing and the defense of human rights, inspired by various groups in Chile and in other countries, such as Brazil. The experience of arpilleristas consists in what the British anthropologist Victor Turner would call a “social drama” (TURNER, 2005a, p.182). The goal of this research is to identify the possibilities of artistic practices in the arpilleras as events of cultural performativity in that we can observe the occurrence of a “social drama” according to the authors who have written in this field. The methodology chosen for this study was the cartographic method and the investigation tools we used were: observation, semi-structured interviews with the representatives of the movement of Brazilian arpilleristas (arpilleras do MAB) and of Chilean arpilleristas (Memorarte) as well with as the curator of current expositions in Northern Ireland, Roberta Bacic, and the curator and facilitator of expositions and workshops of arpilleras, Esther Conti; my participation in workshops of production of this technique, as well as photographs taken to register the process. We understand that the importance of this study to the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Performances is valuable because it delves into the social, political and artistic experiences which deals with significant transformations yet to be explored by the academic world at large as well as in our country.
