This activity proposes an intergenerational space for encounter and collective creation through embroidery, with the aim of generating a shared manifesto around care and its multiple articulations. For two hours, participants will be invited to reflect on the affective, political, and social dimensions of caregiving while embroidering phrases, words, or symbols that emerge from the shared dialogue. Embroidery will be understood not only as a technique, but as a sensitive practice that fosters listening, situated thinking, and the building of connections. Throughout the event, short texts and excerpts from contemporary authors who have reflected on caregiving from feminist, community, and poetic perspectives will be shared. These materials will act as triggers for conversations, the exchange of experiences, and, in turn, a shared narrative that will be captured on a large canvas. The activity aims to open a sustained space for horizontal co-creation in which craftsmanship combines with critical and affective thinking. The result will be an embroidered manifesto that captures the voices and sensibilities of all the participants, as a testament to a shared reflection on how we inhabit—and want to inhabit—caregiving. Organized by: Colectivo Corso
