Luz : Terre<\/em> is a collective mending act in which the healing words of Mexican women resonate through the hands of six embroiderers to sow new hope. This project is part of the LUZ<\/em> (Dentelle, Echo, Terre<\/em><\/em><\/em>), which aims to connect plural communities by inhabiting various spaces. <\/span><\/p>\nAn excerpt of this project will be presented at the OFFTA, which proposes the active participation of six people (embroiderers) who identifying themselves as women or belonging to gender minorities.<\/span><\/p>\n
