Considering gender discrimination throughout the course of history, its recognizable that men have received a privileged status and women were relegated to defer to men; however, women were not silenced, they were not verbose with man’s language. Women developed their own rhetoric and revealed in it. This rhetoric is often considered the language of the quilt. The language of a quilt is like a mother tongue, indigenous to women, a tongue which not only relays information, remembers the past, persuades with an argument, but it also reveals the identity of the quilter. I weave quilts with my grandmother Tereza Pinto Lopes as an act to preserve memories; looking at it as a gendered activity; more so like an illustrated method of an individual identity. As an act of communication, it allows sharing our resourcefulness, memories, family, heritage, creativity, past and present. To express ourselves using fabric. To narrate stories. To speak about histories. Thinking of how by involving the same method as my grandmothers grandmother in my art practice, I am engaging in an act of decolonization of the mind, which is rather than allowing the corporate consumerism culture to take over our daily lives, I do have the power to make a protest, to revolt. To also be reminded of how quilting and other crafts could be powerful tools in the fight against fascism and Patriarchy. The ability of women to communicate with one another in code. To Quilt us a story.
