The Protest Forms Memory and Celebration series consists of embroidered banners that recover both the artisanal sewing technique and the solemn tradition of the banner in parades and sacramental processions. The banners were conceived as a symbolic objects that could represent and unite the communal work in participatory projects were they stand up, for people to see and follow while performers, pedestrians, and casual onlookers merge into one collective body in the public space.
Onto these banners, popular elements are added figures and slogans that allude to the civil rights struggle in terms of celebration. The language is strictly secular, extrapolated during workshops led by the artist. In these banner, claims, questions or statements take central stage, as their social and political meanings recount the poetry in the everyday along with a collective wisdom that seems to have been there forever. Thus, the artist articulates her interest in the role that crowd, dance and music play in creating united temporary communities to demonstrate resilience.
