Crafting ecologies of existence: More than human community making in Colombian textile craftivism

Rather than focusing relevance activities for political activism historical memory, an ecological perspective allows us to emphasise a mundane, more process communal regeneration. We discuss how women these collectives, after painful violent displacements, craft new ecologies existence: relations interdependencies within human worlds that cultivate modes care attention, values sensibilities precarious living spaces. Ecological reparation is everyday, vital, ongoing practice essential community resurgence re-establishing collectivities sustain liveable worlds.
