Soineko Gorria

Apr 15, 2023

Soineko Gorria urte anitzeko brodatu proiektu kolaboratibo, saritua, globala eta kolaboratiboa da. Kirstie Macleod ehun-artista britainiarrak sortu zuen, eta berak hasi zuen Soineko Gorria 2009an. Hasieran, soinekoa instalazio gisa erakutsi zuen, eta Macleod kubo garden batean eseri zen soinekoa jantzita eta brodatuan lanean. Hurrengo 14 urteetan, soinekoaren piezak mundu osoan zehar bidaiatu ziren, eta etengabe brodatu ziren esku ezberdinek. 50 herrialdetako 365 emakumek, 7 gizonek eta 2 artista ez-bitarrek landu dute, baita soinekoa erakutsi den hirietako ikusleek ere. Prozesu horretan, Soineko Gorria adierazpen-bide harrigarri bihurtu da mundu osoko emakumeentzat, asko gerra-herrialdeetan, pobrezia-egoera zaurgarrietan edo errefuxiatu gisa bizi direnentzat. Haien sentimenduak, istorioak eta ametsak dira ehunean brodatu direnak. Film labur honek Soineko Gorriaren istorio harrigarria partekatzen du, eta zer esan nahi duen bere sortzaileetako batzuentzat.

Film hau Soineko Gorriaren laguntzaile da munduan zehar erakusketetara bidaiatzen duen bitartean, Soineko Gorriarekin berarekin batera proiektatzeko.

2009az geroztik, Kirstie Macleod artistak mundu osoko artisauak konbentzitzen ditu beren istorio politiko, kultural eta pertsonalak Soineko Gorrira erakustera.

Orain bidaia berri bat hasten da Kirstie eta Soinekoa galeriaren argi hotzetatik Mexikoko Chiapasko mendietara bidaiatzen dutenean, bertan lagundu duten bi emakume ezagutuz. Brodatzaile gutxik ikusi dute soinekoa guztiz muntatuta eta Kirstiek oraindik ez ditu asko ezagutu, orain arte.

The world needs something good to do, in relationships and encouragement, to bring us together in harmony.

Awesome! The resilience of women around the world is so heartening.

I think it’s an interesting and admirable project. Shame the video caption writer was not fully literate. Mistakes such as “it’s” instead of “its” leap to the eye.

Eleonora Apr 28, 2023

Very important, very beautiful, great strength

Carlienne Frisch Apr 24, 2023

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing this story. Because I've had very little success with ANY kind of needlework (except, perhaps, reattaching a loose button), I marvel at the talent of women who excel at needlecrafts. My Czech grandmother and my mother both crocheted, and my Babi knitted some elaborate items, including a pullover sweater for me. I did not appreciate their talent at the time but now wish I had inherited even a kernel of it. Thank you for using your many talents to showcase the work of others.

Are there any stories in this project from the Red Dress project of First Nations/American Indian/Native American disappeared women?

It's an amazing way of dissolving boundaries and sharing beauty and skill.

Ohhhh,myyy. Such Beauty and Inspiration. An uplifting documentary demonstrating the depth of global women’s outreach through the ancient art of using a simple needle, a strand of thread on a beautiful textile in global motion. What a Gift to All of Us.

I would hope that this story and dress would go on a grand tour for all to see. The news of it needs to spread and be heard.

In this particular time in world history, we NEED to use art or whatever resource to build community and connection ...this way all lives matter.

Absolutely stunning to see the glory of the Red Dress on Daily Good here. It’s marvellous to see it shared so widely. It is an inspiring and uplifting piece of work. I’ve seen it 7 times when it was up here at Preston Park in the North East. A real treat. ❤️

What a brilliant concept, so lovingly born and nurtured. It is heartening to see such expressions of beauty emerging from brave souls who have so little. Truly they have given something priceless in the spirit of sisterhood and creativity.

What an awesome project. I hope you’ll consider asking the Smithsonian Museum to exhibit the dress after you have shown it all that you want to see it. It is a beautiful creation and a touching story.
