Resumen

Ubicado en el contexto global de la migración humana contemporánea y los altos grados de movilidad, este proyecto multimodal examinó cómo las narrativas y la creación de textiles permitieron a un grupo de mujeres migrantes latinoamericanas a Nueva Zelanda re-presentar y re-construir su sentido de pertenencia y su identidad. En Nueva Zelanda, la comunidad de migrantes de América Latina es relativamente pequeña (menos del 1% de la población con un poco más de 13,000 personas en el censo de 2013) pero diversa, ya que incluye migrantes que han llegado al país en oleadas separadas desde la década de 1970. Como tal, es un grupo heterogéneo con personas de diferentes países que han migrado a Nueva Zelanda por diferentes razones y con diferentes habilidades y aspiraciones. Sus historias de migración han sido escasamente documentadas; en particular, poco se sabe acerca de las experiencias de las mujeres migrantes latinoamericanas.
