Embroidering Resistance

Dear Friends of MASCP,

 

We would like to invite you to an event with Teresa Cruz Miranda from the Museo del Imagen y la Palabra in San Salvador: Embroidering Resistance- Memories of Survival and the U.S. Empire in El Salvador. As an educator, Teresa "uses embroidery to promote collective healing and preserve the historical memory of rural communities who organized revolution."

 

​​This event is Presented by the UMass Amherst Public History Program and UMass Amherst History Department Feinberg Series.

Once again, MASCP will be selling beautiful embroidered items and other artesania from El

Salvador at the Fair Trade Holiday Festival on December 3, 2022. The Festival will be at the

Monona Terrace Convention Center, 1 John Nolan Drive in Madison, WI, from 8 AM-3 PM.

 

The Farmer’s Market will also be held at Monona Terrace that day so you can buy locally produced food items and fairly traded handcrafts from around the world in the same place.

If you’d like to join the fun of meeting great people, telling them about the Embroidery Coop in Arcatao and selling beautiful items, let us know! We’d love your help setting up before the Festival, selling during the day, bringing lunch to our team and packing up at the end of the day.

 

CONTACT US if you’d like to volunteer. We’d be grateful for your interest and help. Hope to see you there!

P.O. Box 132 Madison, WI 53701
