This photographic report documents the daily life of sewing groups in the city of Barcelona, highlighting their social, creative and community dimension. Through the testimonies of the women who participate and the images captured by the shared moments, it is revealed how sewing is much more than a manual activity: it is a tool of relationship, support and resistance.
These groups have become welcoming spaces where bonds of trust, solidarity and belonging are built. The weekly meetings not only serve to learn or improve sewing techniques, but also generate a safe environment in which to share experiences, converse and disconnect from everyday stress. For many women, the groups are what they call “a refuge or a space of truce”
