Abstract

The "Threads of Empowerment" exhibition at the Ulster Museum showcases arpilleras, appliquéd textiles originating from Chile during the Pinochet regime, depicting experiences of oppression, trauma, and conflict. The display features 29 arpilleras from the Conflict Textiles collection, reflecting diverse countries and themes such as the Disappeared, Exile, and Our Children. Through a polyphonic chorus of exhibitions, the collection aims to empower marginalized voices, spark conversations, and highlight the universal impact of conflict on individuals and communities.
