ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

The WATERMELON SEEDS COLLECTIVE is a group of women united by a shared commitment to resistance and social justice. Their practice centers on creating textile art works that explore themes of human rights violations in Latin America, historical memory, and solidarity with Palestine. Since 2019, the members Miriam C., Brenda Cortés, Priscila Diaz, Andrea Idrobo, Paz Jurado, and Maria Paz Lira have met to collaborate, share stories, create artworks, and participate in various public art projects that create awareness about the Palestinian

struggle, as well as share their experiences as women, immigrants, and activists. In 2024, they formed the Tatreez Circle Toronto and The Tatreez Sumud Chile.
