Cecilia Cornejo, lecturer in cinema and media studies at Carleton, has been awarded grants by Springboard for the Arts; Artists Respond: Safety in Neighbors; and Forecast Public Art: Artists as Witness. With grant support, Cornejo will introduce a cohort of Latinx neighbors to the history and technique of arpillera, a Chilean art form that emerged during the military dictatorship that integrates embroidery and appliqué techniques. Equipped with fabric, needle, and thread, participants will create small tapestries that bear witness to daily life under the current federal administration.
