Presented by Professor Ludmila Ferrari

Over 30 people displaced by violence in Colombia reflect on their painful experiences through the design of tapestries. Participants in this prize-winning project worked at a community garden where they met and shared their stories. Then they used tapestries as a way of preserving their collective memory.

Prof. Ludmila Ferrari is a visual artist and a researcher. She is a PhD candidate in Media and Communications at the European Graduate School, and a Visiting Instructor at Earlham College (2009-2011). She won the National Prize for New Artistic Practices, Ministry of Culture (2009). In her work, Ludmila explores the relationship between artistic practices and processes of collective representation. She has published various articles and is currently working in a book about artistic practices as a political exercise.
