Types of mobilization: Artivism , Digital Activism , Protests in the Era of the Pandemic

During the period of social isolation, political embroidery collectives were prevented from holding in-person meetings and demonstrations, which led members to actively demonstrate on their social networks, mainly through posts on Instagram. The embroidery carried out at that time usually involved themes such as: defending social isolation and sanitary measures to prevent Covid-19, the demand for a free vaccine for all, the appreciation of the Unified Health System, among others.

Pamphleteer Embroidery

Types of mobilization: Artivism , Public Manifestos

Linhas do Horizonte, known for being the first political embroidery collective in Brazil, proved to be politically active during the Covid-19 pandemic in several ways. One of them was from what they call pamphleteer embroidery, which consists of embroidering around the causes they defend, thus, they were present at demonstrations for the vaccine and against the policies of Jair Bolsonaro's government. Unlike simply handing out paper pamphlets, the embroiderers argue that embroidering around a cause ends up attracting greater interest from the population, because when people come across something artistic that reminds them of ancestry, a connection of affection and closeness is created, which which facilitates the establishment of dialogue and makes them more open to learning about different causes.

Memory will not die

Types of mobilization: Artivism , Public Manifestos

In March 2021, Brazil reached the number of 300 thousand deaths caused by covid-19 and its complications. Thus, the Linhas do Rio collective had the idea of inviting other collectives of political embroiderers from different places to embroider in honor of these victims. First, an embroidered flag was made containing the names of 286 of these victims, but as more embroiderers joined the cause, they carried out more and more embroideries, in addition to the fact that the number of victims continued to grow.

The idea was to take the embroidery to public places, to give visibility and honor the memory of each of these dead. Among the collectives involved were: Linhas do Rio (Rio de Janeiro), Linhas do Horizonte (Belo Horizonte), Linhas de Sampa (São Paulo), Linhas do Mar (Caraguatatuba), Linhas de Santos (Santos), Bordaluta (Brasília), Points of Fight (Belo Horizonte) and Women of the Resistance Abroad (New York).
